The College of Nursing developed a ladder mentor program with our BSN students, called iLEAD, where students took a personality and interest survey and were matched together into “nursing families” composed of one freshman, one sophomore, one junior and one senior. The students in each nursing family then met as a group a few times per semester to mentor each other and to do fun outings within our four focus areas of health and wellness, community service, and UC and college events.
Participate in holistic admissions process of possible incoming students. The interview process identifies non-cognitive indicators linked to specific desired attributes – as part of the admission process for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. Through these brief interviews, attributes often seen in great students, great nurses, great leaders and great employees can be identified in candidates.
Motivational Speakers are needed to speak at various events throughout the year. Share expertise and work experience with prospective nursing students. Shed light on why nursing was the right profession for you.
Our free webinar series provides continuing education opportunities for the entire health care community. We are always looking for alumni to share their research and topics of interest.
