Nursing Peer Mentor

As a nursing peer mentor, I am oftentimes matched with a nursing student as requested through our Instagram page @DUnursingmentors or through completing the Google Form where the preference for their mentor's cohort can be recorded. Currently I am paired with four mentees, two sophomore 2's and two sophomore 1's, and keep in touch with them as needed such as for clinical registration. Beyond providing support for my mentees, I have also co-facilitated a few student panels. One of the panels I participated in included one for upcoming sophomore 2's which focused around questions regarding my clinical experience such as what to bring to clinicals, helpful resources to prepare for clinicals, and my personal experience at the clinical sites I chose. In the picture provided, is one of the virtual panels done in August 2020 for pre-nursing students at Dominican where we answered questions pertaining to our first year such as how we transitioned from the curriculum in high school to nursing school, best time to purchase textbooks, and helpful online resources.
