The Mentor/Mentee Program

 

The Program

The Mentor/Mentee Program is designed to connect nursing students with one another. The goal is to partner a nursing student that is “just starting out” in the program with a student that is farther along in the program. The Mentor is meant to offer guidance, encouragement, and answer questions about the nursing program. Once partnered, the Mentor and the Mentee will decide the course of their relationship. This would include: communication type (e.g. Do you want to meet face to face or communicate through email or both?), time commitment, etc.

 

Qualifications to be a Mentor

Must be in at least NUR 350

Positive attitude about nursing and the nursing program

Willing to take the time to communicate with your Mentee

 

Qualifications to be a Mentee

Enrolled in NUR 120, 220, 315, 320, 350, or 420

Willing to communicate with your Mentor

 

Points to remember

This is meant to be a professional relationship. Your time spent meeting as Mentor/Mentee is not time for a gossip session about professors.

You can be both a Mentor and a Mentee. For example, if you are in NUR 350 and sign up to mentor an underclassman, you can also sign up to be mentored by someone farther along in the program.

This is not LIC point approved.
