Quotes from students:
“I would recommend this program to students and alumni! As a student, it was so nice to connect with Badger alumni and talk to someone who had once been in the shoes I am in. My mentor’s reassurance was so nice to hear and I looked forward to our meetings every month.”
“The mentorship program not only helped me gain a lifelong friend, but provided a realistic look at what practice in the world looks like. My mentor connected me to many resources, opportunities, and nurses/nurse managers that I would not have had access to without her.”
“This is such an easy and helpful tool. I got to meet such an amazing nurse who might be my co worker in the future. It’s a great way to put yourself out there and ask for advice. I like how the school does a good job of not being too controlling when it comes to how many meetings you have to have etc. it’s nice going at your own pace.”
“The mentorship program is like an in person LinkedIn. You get to meet other badger nurses and build connections that are actually meaningful.”
