SON students elected to NC Association of Nursing Students Executive Board

Congratulations to undergraduate nursing students Madd Heartley(left) and Caroline Roseman(right) who have been elected to serve on the 2022-2023 North Carolina Association of Nursing Students (NCANS) Executive Board as Secretary and Vice President, respectively.

Heartley, a senior, is passionate about reproductive and sexual health. She hopes to pursue a nursing career in reproductive health or obstetrics and gynecology after graduation. She also serves as the Treasurer for the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter Association of Nursing Students (ANS) and says this is another opportunity for teamwork.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish together.”

Roseman is a first year nursing student and serves as the Communication and Publications Chair for the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter Association of Nursing Students (ANS). Roseman, who aspires to work in the ICU after graduating from and to one day become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), is keen to take on a leadership role, saying, “I am looking forward to setting a positive example and making a difference as a leader this year.”

Carolina Nursing is proud to have our students representing students all over North Carolina. SON ANS Faculty Advisor Nancy Jo Thompson sums it up best: “We are thrilled to have Madd and Caroline represent Carolina Nursing at the state level. Both Madd and Caroline are exceptional student nurse leaders!”
