Let’s hear it from our mentors and mentees…
Clarissa Hood
“Being a mentor through this organization allows me to invest into the lives of students going into a forever growing field through navigating within the nursing profession, encouragement, professional influences, leading by example, but most importantly helping an individual know their worth.”
Stephanie Thompson
“Volunteering as a mentor for BNN has truly been a rewarding experience for me. Working with nursing students in this capacity helps me continue to grow within my nursing career!”
Jamie Benson
“BNN has been such a blessing to me during my journey to becoming a nurse. My mentor has become one of my biggest cheerleaders and supporters. In a college where I often don’t see other students or faculty that look like me, it’s so comforting and encouraging to be in a space with other who look like me and are willing to go on the journey with me!”
Tesleemah Oyewale
“Through this network, I have met my amazing mentor who guides and encourages me on how to be successful and has given me an awesome networking event to look forward to at the beginning and end of each semester!”
