2026 CNSA Resolutions Hearing Recording

Congratulations to the 2025 Resolution Authors Lesly Carrillo and Kelsi McNeil from University of the Pacific, Sacramento for their hard work on the Resolution entitled: 

"PROMOTING NURSING EDUCATION OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT IN HEALTHCARE TO PROTECT PATIENTS AND UPHOLD ETHICAL PRACTICE"

Why write a resolution?

  • Resolutions are essentially position papers that address pertinent issues which direct the priorities of the organization in which it was passed.
  • These position papers represent matters of importance to CNSA constituents, members, chapters, nursing and/or health needs of the public.
  • If adopted by the House of Delegates at the Annual Conventions of the National Student Nurses’ Association (NSNA) and/or California Nursing Students’ Association (CNSA), your resolution will become the basis for the policies and actions of the NSNA and/or the CNSA. 
  • This means that YOU can make a difference in the nursing profession! 
  • Your work can bring awareness, recognition, and/or advocacy to your topic!

Why should I get involved?

  • Resolutions help increase awareness, encourage advocacy, and promote recognition of relevant nursing topics that are national in scope. 
  • This means that YOU can make a difference in the nursing profession.
  • Going through this process can also help you gain leadership skills that will both boost your resume and help you in your future career as a nurse.

Who can write a resolution?

  • A CNSA member or a School Chapter
  • CNSA Board of Directors and CNSA Committee
