In 1947, consideration was given to the organization of statewide nurses student association to be sponsored by the North Carolina State Nurses’ Association. This thought was discussed at the annual meeting of the Advisory Council of North Carolina State Nurses in October 1948, and at the conference of represented faculty members from schools of nursing and nursing students held in March 1949. As

a result of the interest and enthusiasm shown, a committee composed of three faculty members and three students was appointed by the President of North Carolina’s Nurses Association. The committee was constructed to prepare a plan of organization and additional material relative to an association of nursing students for distribution to school directors and students in June 1949. After discussion of the matter again at the annual meeting of the Advisory Council, the delegation voted to sponsor a State Nursing Students Association. The organizational meeting was held in High Point, North Carolina on February 8, 1950. The purpose of this first meeting was to elect officers, adopt “rules” of the association, and consider the program of work of the association. The objectives were the following:
1.) Promote interest in professional nursing organizations
2.) Prepare nursing students for participation and membership in the professional nursing organizations.
3.) Establish a better graduate-student relationship
4.) Promote unity and fellowship and encourage student government in schools of nursing
5.) Prepare nursing students and graduates for problems affecting nursing and community affairs
6.) Become familiar with parliamentary procedures and preside at meetings
7.) To stimulate leadership
8.) Cooperate with professional organizations in the recruitment of nursing students
9.) Afford opportunities to discuss student problems
