Leadership development and mentoring have become integral components of Allen College’s accelerated BSN program, which has a student body that has become more diverse as a direct result of the NCIN scholar- ship program. Several NCIN scholars have gone on to pursue graduate degrees in nursing and at least one scholar is working toward a nursing career in the military. Program coordinators point to the NCIN Leadership and Mentoring Toolkits as instrumental to the success of NCIN scholars and past and present scholars give high marks to the mentoring program.
