What is NSA and what does it do for me?
Our purpose is to make sure that your student voice is heard. Our council meets monthly, typically on the first Monday of every month.
- NSA throws several social events throughout the year. This gives students the opportunity to mingle about something other than their clinical rotations! Please check our website/Instagram often for announcements. Class/Cohort Reps will also give monthly announcements to their respective classes/cohorts regarding upcoming NSA events.

How can I get involved?
You can contact our secretary at: rempelbe@myumanitoba.ca to get involved! As well as take a look at our open positions under the Council page! We usually hold elections at the end of year, and by-elections during the fall term!
Getting involved with NSA is a great way to meet other College of Nursing students and faculty members. It is also a great way to sharpen your leadership, team work and professional development skills, and is a great thing to have on your resume! Involvement on the Nursing Students’ Association is added to your co-curricular record too!

When are meetings and am I allowed to be in them?
Meetings are usually held on the first Monday of every month (unless there is a holiday) at 260 HGC at 1730! Every nursing student is welcome but we would prefer if you RSVP by sending an email to rempelbe@myumanitoba.ca so that we can appropriately estimate the amount of food needed! (Yes. Free food).
Are there any special spaces I can study in?
There are two student lounges located in Helen Glass. One is located in Room 130 in the basement. This student lounge includes couches, microwaves and lockers. These lockers will be available for purchase online during the first week of each term. Lockers cost $15 to be used from term start to term end. Lockers must be emptied by the first day of the next term, or locks will be cut and belongings are discarded. Our second student lounge is located in 202 Helen Glass beside the reception desk on our main floor. This lounge has plenty of tables for group work, couches, a microwave, a private bathroom and a toaster.
- There is a quiet study area that is accessible to students in room 230 in the hallway near the parkade entrance. It offers students study carrels, a sitting area and plenty of outlets for laptops.
- Students will need an encoded student card to access all of these spaces. Remember, these spaces are shared by everyone in the College of Nursing, so please be respectful and keep them tidy!
