Council of School Participants (COSP)
NJNS brings students the Council of School Participants (COSP) which offers similar presentations that are found in the annual convention. Focusing on three essential and relevant nursing topics, COSP gives students a taste of what to expect at the upcoming annual convention.
Join the Future of Healthcare!
WHAT IS COSP?
COSP, the Council of School Participants, is a one-day statewide conference, where speakers present on nursing topics relevant to the theme. For example, Unconscious Bias: The Impact on Healthcare Nursing. Students have the opportunity to network with nursing students and professional nurses from across New Jersey. Nursing students will learn about current healthcare topics and participate in professional development.
