The mission of Global Action In Nursing (GAIN) at George Mason University is to bridge the gap between classroom education and real-world health challenges. We exist to empower students to gain a broader perspective on health disparities, take tangible action through ethical service, and advance the role of nursing leadership in an interconnected world.
Gain literacy in Bioethics, Social Determinants of Health, Health Tech, Medical Geography, and more. GAIN is inclusive to all people, and we will hold events that cater to many fields as nursing is interrelated to every field. Participate in events and gain skills and endorsements from real practitioners.
No Fees: No dues, fees, or any cost will be bestowed on any member or attendee of GAIN and GAIN events. There is no financial barrier to participate or be a member of GAIN, as GAIN values your time, participation, and status.
