As the President of the Alabama Association of Student Nurses, I, Carter McDonald plan to be an advocate and voice for all Alabama nursing students. I promise to adhere and uphold the duties bestowed upon me by the AANS for the 2018-2019 term. Currently, I’m in my third semester of nursing school at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I am passionate about the success of my fellow nursing students, and hope to provide the resources necessary in transitioning from school to a prosperous and rewarding career. My primary goal is to promote unity within our diverse nursing student population so that we may foster healthy working relationships and a positive environment for personal growth. We are the
change in the future of healthcare, and it’s only when we come together that we can make a real difference. I look forward to our impact on today’s nursing by moving it forward to establish better outcomes for patients and nurses. |

My name is Danarius Glover and I currently am a first semester nursing student at Tuskegee University. Upon graduation I want to become a trauma nurse and go back to school to receive both my masters and PHD. I am honored to serve as the 2018-2019 Vice President of AANS. I am excited to help make change for the future of AANS and help continue to build from the foundation of our predecessors. Always remember our voice cannot be heard alone or even with just the board, but together as the future nurses of this generation we have no choice but to be heard. My goal is to bring not only success and complete the responsibilities as Vice President, but also to achieve unity in our organization.

Hello! I’m Haley Tomlinson and I attend the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I’m excited to be a part of your Executive Board for the Alabama Association of Nursing Students! I have been Treasurer for my local chapter of ANS since Fall of 2017 and attended the National Student Nurses Association annual conference last April, where I served as a delegate for the University of Alabama in Huntsville. I also received a certificate from the Treasurer’s Certification Program, where I had the opportunity to learn methods to correctly manage funds and even some fundraising methods.
I’m only in my third semester of school, but I have an interest in oncology, pediatrics, critical care, and just general Med-Surg floors. I don’t really know what I want to do when I graduate, but I’m enjoying learning as much as I can until I figure it out! |
