Starting a HOSA chapter

<p>Is starting a HOSA chapter difficult? I'm a freshman and my school doesn't have any health related clubs or anything. I'm wondering if it's worth it and if it's really hard to start one from scratch.</p>

<p>Or you could share your experience with HOSA :)</p>

<p>Bumppppp :)))))</p>

<p>Oh come on, someone here has to be in HOSA!!</p>

<p>Hey skiingfish I started a chapter at my college! and I love it!
What state do you live in and I could point you in the right direction!!!</p>

<p>I live in Ohio and I’m a freshman in high school! Could you please tell me about how you started the chapter? Thanks so much in advance!</p>

<p>Hello! HOSA IS AWESOME! At least the competitive events are… It’s a tad too late because HOSA regionals are over now so starting a chapter still wouldnt allow you to compete due to the already started season. For me, States is a little less than 2 months and I’m So excited! If you’re a future healthcare worker then JOIN! It’s a great organization and you could put it on colllege apps/jobApps or whatever! HOSA is amazing. All of it is basically the competitive events so youll have to wait till next year to compete. But join anyway!</p>

<p>Oh im not sure about how starting one works. I think its easy. Just contact Michigan Hosa and talk to them about it. :D</p>

<p>Yeah, I kind of figured it’s too late for competition lol. I plan to start one as early as next school year, I just need the information first. Is it really that easy to start one?</p>

<p>Hellllllooooo? Anyone else? :)</p>

<p>Anyone else want to talk to me about HOSA??</p>

<p>Well I am a two year member, hopefully will continue in college. I’d say if you want to start one just find others (at least about 15 i think) also interested in health and talk to your guidence couselor or health related teachers about it. I think it’d be a great idea, and to be able to say that you STARTED a hosa chapter? Cmon, colleges would eat that up ;)</p>

<p>@Cens10 Thanks for your advice!</p>

<p>I also have a question: should I ask my guidance counselor first or try to find science/health teacher? Because right now I only know one teacher related to health, and that’s my biology teacher. Should I ask other teachers even if I don’t know them really well?</p>

<p>buuuuuuummmmmmppppp</p>

<p>Well if that’s the case where you only have one health-related teacher, then yeah I guess the guidance office. At our school there’s a program for health and all of its classes so I meant if you had any teachers like that, but yeah I think really any teacher would do really… Good luck! :D</p>
