Sometimes, nursing school can feel overwhelming and like you’re playing a game of catch-up. When that happens, you might start doubting yourself, even wondering if this is the career for you. But, remember: you were accepted to nursing school for a reason, and the Osmosis Student Nursing Ambassador (ONSA) program is here to help you balance out that stress and find your passion again.
In the spirit of giving something back to yourself, and your profession, partnering with the ONSA program will help you connect with your colleagues and future nurses, build up your CV, and even earn free Osmosis and compensation, too!
What Is the ONSA program?
If ever there was a program that was “all things nursing” at its core, then the ONSA program has to be it.
As a program ambassador, you’ll cultivate your nursing skills and watch your influence bloom! In other words, you’ll help spread the joy of learning by Osmosis to nursing students all around the world by engaging through social media, blogs, webinars, and more.
Eligibility requirements
Before you apply, check to make sure you’re eligible for the program:
- Current BSN, ASN, or ADN student in good academic standing. This signals to us that you’re an active, engaged student who is passionate about their future career in nursing.
- You have 1–2 hours per week to contribute to our Nursing Community. We want to make sure you won’t feel overburdened and will be able to give your best to the program.
- You have access to a reliable internet connection and webcam, as this program is fully remote and completed online.
Other qualifications that will help you stand out

Yes! We would love to work with ambassadors who can start with the heart, spread joy, have each other’s backs, open your arms and reach further. We want to work with those who want to improve nursing education for all.

Be reliable
If you drop the ball, then you are the first to pick it up. We love working with individuals who get the job done. After all, teamwork makes a dream work.
Be a caring communicator
Communication is always key. You will need to provide feedback from time to time, especially with monthly surveys and focus groups. Also, mindful conversations amongst team members are never a bad thing. Rule number one? Listen, as you communicate.
As an ambassador, you have the privilege of being part of a community that will foster your growth as a student nurse and an individual in general. The program will provide you with meaningful connections that will nudge you out of your comfort zone.
One thing is for sure—you’ll enjoy a great learning experience as Osmosis prides itself in spreading joy and building a great community in the process.
What you’ll do as an ONSA
As an ambassador, your primary responsibilities will include the following:
- Participating in focus groups to help make Osmosis even better for nursing students, and help push nursing education forward in a meaningful way.
- Building relationships with your peers (ONSAs) and Osmosis teammates, which can provide valuable connections as you build your nursing career.
- Attending skill-building sessions that will help you keep building on your strengths and working on your challenges.
- Nurturing a progressive attitude towards the nursing career by talking about the program.
- Getting exclusive access to Osmosis resources provide feedback on Osmosis nursing content to help us make sure we stay aligned with the real problems and desires of today’s nursing students.

Empowering others
As an ONSA, you’ll interact with your peers, motivating and giving them advice, so they can equally thrive. Knowing that you’ve made a difference in someone’s life will give you an awesome feeling.
The impact of learning is immeasurable. We’re sure that you will love to see a nurse that you helped thrive on their own. For us, this is what makes a true ambassador.
