    Oh yes, wonderful idea! I could benefit from this as well. Or perhaps new nursing students could "buddy up" with another new nursing student to use as a support system and study buddy when needed

    In my program our nursing student council set up a mentor program where seniors were paired with first semester students (all voluntary for those who wanted to). Maybe you can suggest this to your student council. Of course allnurses is a great resource as well. I'm always willing to answer any questions that I can too, feel free to ask here or PM me. Congrats on starting nursing school

    my school had peer advisers. 2nd level students volunteered. I was the adviser for 4 first level students. before the semester started, I emailed them my contact info and that I would meet them at orientation. I ended up meeting 3 of them. never met the 4th. I also emailed them mid semester and the end of the semester to wish them luck on finals. I also emailed them before I graduated to let them know they can reach out to me any time they wanted.

    I think its a great idea and more should do it. I'd be happy to help any nursing students. feel free to PM me too

    Good luck!
