Each NCIN scholar was paired with a faculty mentor and had the opportunity to shadow a nurse, attend research events, and participate in dinners with nursing experts. These structured mentoring activities enhanced scholars’ knowledge of the day-to-day responsibilities of professional nurses in various specialties, opening their eyes to new possibilities as they prepared to continue their education and/or enter the job market. Scholars also attended the annual convention of the National Student Nurses’ Association, where they networked with peers and learned about leadership opportunities.
