Communications Director
Brantley Willis
My name is Brantley Willis and I am a 4th semester nursing student at Wallace State Community College in Hanceville, AL. I have been a member of the NSNA and the AANS since the spring of 2020 and am currently serving as Communications Director for AANS during the 2020-2021 term. At this time, I am pursuing an Associate Degree in Nursing and am set to graduate in the Spring of 2021. My career goal is to continue my education at the University of Alabama in Birmingham and earn the credentials to enroll in the BSN to DNP program at UAB. I am especially interested in providing critical and perioperative care once I begin working as an RN. My goal as an AANS board member is to promote our organization by connecting and engaging with Alabama’s nursing community and students. I hope to provide a transparent and effective line of communication for the directors, our members, and the community.
