ABOUT
About us The Nursing Science Society is composed of all Queen's Nursing students. Its central executive is elected annually from the student population and meets bi-weekly to discuss issues of concern, internal and external to the School of Nursing. The goal of the NSS is to encourage both academic and social interaction among nursing students, between students of various faculties and between students and faculty members. A variety of events are organized and sponsored by the society including NSS Awareness Week, Big Buddy events, fundraisers, the annual spring formal, nursing student conferences, and various other activities within the Queen's community.The NSS is presently more involved with the professional aspect of nursing by directly interacting with the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario, and the Canadian Nursing Students? Association. All nursing students are encouraged to become involved in their class council or the NSS central executive.

AST 3 AST Year IV- NSS Executive
Name- Justine MacKay
Email- 1jm39_queensu.ca
I'm a small-town girl with a big heart and and a brain yearning for knowledge. I completed my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology(science) at McMaster University and then took a year off because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. It wasn't too long and I found myself missing everything about school; not just the social aspects, but the studying, the projects and even midterm time (crazy as it sounds). I always knew that I would come back to school, I just didn't figure that it would be so soon; and I'm glad that I did!
My position on the NSS is the 3rd year AST President. This means I communicate between my class and the NSS, help run fun events, and fundraise money for our pinning ceremony at the end of next year. I'm looking forward to making this year (and next) and unforgettable experience!
