Nursing and pre-nursing students are given the opportunity and encouraged to become members of the Michigan Nursing Students Association and the National Student Nurses Association, which provide information, networking, stimulation and exciting challenges.
The Black Student Nurses Association at Oakland University gives nursing students an opportunity to promote unity among minorities and other students by providing a support network for pre-nursing students as well as current nursing students. BSNA allows members to improve their networking skills and ability to work with others while educating and informing the community about health risks that affect minorities.

Each year, nursing students are invited to apply for membership in the School of Nursing Dean's Circle. The Dean's Circle is a select group of nursing students who serve as School of Nursing ambassadors.
It is an opportunity for members to expand their role as a student and gain a unique perspective that will broaden their educational experience.
Being inducted into Sigma Theta Tau National Honor Society signifies that one is a leader in the nursing profession and has demonstrated excellence or the potential for excellence and leadership. Being an honor society member does not mean someone is necessarily smarter or more advanced than a nonmember; rather, the member has made accomplishments of which he or she should be proud and is, therefore, recognized as a leader within the field.
Joining Sigma Theta Tau National Honor Society signifies one’s commitment to excellence in nursing and acknowledges the individuals achievements — whether academic or professional — that will make an impact on the profession and society. Membership in Sigma Theta Tau International is an invitation to join a family of nursing leaders around the world, gain global access to information and engage in opportunities to collaborate with nurses from many different states and countries.
The Theta Psi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society at Oakland University School of Nursing recognizes that nurses who have graduated from nursing schools may not have had an opportunity to join this national honor society. Many of you are leaders and experts in your fields of nursing and should be recognized for that distinction. Through one’s accomplishments in areas such as research, publication, leadership, clinical practice and education qualify an individual nurse to be considered for membership.
Membership is by invitation to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship and to nurse leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing.
