WHAT IS THE NSA?
The Nursing Student Association (NSA) is a pre-professional association for nursing students, which was established in the fall of 1987 and is Student Government Association affiliated. The central goal of the NSA is to facilitate unity, leadership and active participation within the student body. To facilitate this goal, members serve on faculty organization committees and the College of Health Professions Council, organize community and social activities, and promote professional growth through educational experiences and affiliations with the Maryland Association of Nursing Students (MANS).

In accord with the National Student Nurses Association’s mission and the mission of the Towson University(TU) NSA is to
* Organize, represent, and mentor Towson University students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses, as well as those nurses enrolled in Towson University's RN-BS completion program.
* Promote development of the skills that students will need as responsible and accountable members of the nursing profession outlined in the Code of Academic and Clinical Conduct
* Advocate for high quality health care in a multicultural society.
 
The structure allows for attainment of the aforementioned mission and goal and provides for class representation and overall membership involvement. All nursing students are eligible to become members of NSA.
