In the Summer of 2020, Jaymelyn Hubert created this mentorship program to help the future generation of nurses. After assembling a strong committee team, we were able to quickly put this program into motion and support our wonderful first years!
The NSMP committee is a collective of Camosun College's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year BSN students. Our goal is to create and continue this program to support our peers and develop fundamental skills.
