• Future Nurses Association 
  The Future Nurses Association at Baylor is dedicated to cultivating community within the nursing cohorts, primarily pre-nursing students. FNA provides students with social, spiritual, and academic support, as well as volunteering opportunities, to prepare them for nursing school. With study groups, social events, and ways to get involved around the Waco community, FNA is a safe haven for nursing students, providing not only academic, but emotional support. At the end of each meeting, there is an optional devotional and prayer for those who need spiritual guidance. As prospective nurses, we have a heart to serve others, and we don't have to wait until nursing school! Join us at soup kitchens, Compassion Waco, homeless ministries, and more to learn how to love the community we will be serving!  To learn more about FNA, contact: Kyle_Pyron@baylor.edu or Antonia_bazzani1@baylor.edu.
