Vice President
Trang Nguyen
Trang is a fourth semester student.  Trang has always been drawn to positions of leadership. She chose to be Vice President in order to support the upcoming President with the endeavors of CNSA, as she completes her last semester at Grossmont. She believes that CNSA is a great bridge for current nursing students to use in order to be successful in their future careers. She has a passion for speaking to current and aspiring nursing students alike, and inspiring them to pursue their nursing dreams and goals. Trang didn't always want to become a nurse - she actually wanted to pursue theatre arts in high school until her senior year, when she decided she wanted to start a career first. She fell in love with anatomy and physiology classes in college, and realized nursing was her calling after going through CNA school. Trang is very interested in OB and Labor/Delivery, and wants to attend graduate school to get her Master's Degree in a hybrid program to become a Nurse Midwife and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner.
