AORN - student nurse membership

Hi all,
My anticipated graduation date is May 2010 and I'm a mission to make my passion for perioperative nursing a career reality!
I've recently joined the AORN as a student nurse. I'm extremely impressed with the plethora of educational resources it supplies and I'm working on becoming an active member. I'm sure it will provide me with much information I need to springboard into my chosen career.
I was wondering if any AORN members, maybe even SN members, are present here, and if you could shed some light on steps I should take on making contacts in my area. I've joined the eChapter and have also found my city chapter.
Would I benefit from attending monthly chapter meetings as an SN?
Is the mentor program that I read about the website applicable to SN's?

Thanks!

Chandra
