Membership, Nominations, and Elections Director

Lydia Plencner
Hello, my name is Lydia Plencner and I will be graduating from Madonna University’s BSN program in May 2019. Nursing seems to run in my family’s blood: I, as well as my two sisters, will be fourth generation nurses. Growing up, I was surrounded by strong, patient, and compassionate women whose work ethic, composure, and intelligence inspired me to pursue the career of nursing which encompasses those characteristics. I have found a love in the complexity, flexibility, and diversity nursing has to offer. Outside of my involvement in MNSA, I am involved in my schools SNA chapter, work as a nurse extern, provide home health care as an aide, and coach middle school and high school swim!
I believe that the benefits of becoming a member of NSNA, MNSA, or of a local SNA chapter are too numerous to count. It provides opportunities to network with future nurses and current professionals, become active in legislation that affects healthcare, and participate in the numerous learning seminars at conventions both state and nationwide.
If you have any questions about becoming a member, increasing membership at your local chapter, or starting a local chapter at your school, please contact me at membership.mnsa@gmail.com
Best wishes on your student nurse journey!
