About SC•RN
The South Carolina Rooster Nurses (SC•RN) is a local chapter of the American Assembly for Men in Nursing (AAMN) organization. The AAMN national organization provides a framework for nurses, as a group, to meet, to discuss and influence factors, which affect men as nurses. The AAMN:
• Encourages men of all ages to become nurses and join together with all nurses in strengthening and humanizing health care.
• Supports men who are nurses to grow professionally and demonstrate to each other and to society the increasing contributions being made by men within the nursing profession.
• Advocates for continued research, education and dissemination of information about men's health issues, men in nursing, and nursing knowledge at the local and national levels.
• Supports members' full participation in the nursing profession and it's organizations and use this Assembly for the limited objectives stated above.
The SC•RN was established at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC. We are a registered pre-professional organization through the University, and seek to reflect the AAMN's objectives through our leadership, community service, and passion for nursing.
