We have a mentor/mentee program that is run by the students. Its completely voluntary. First year students opt in and fill out a survey to be paired with an upperclass student. The 2nd years complete a similar process. There is a committee of 3-4 students that pair the 1st and 2nd years and arrange events. We have an event every semester. Then its mostly a one on one relationship and each relationship is unique. Some people meet up and study together, others email occasionally, others become best friends. Its been a great success for us and I'm really happy being apart of the program.

You shouldn't need to buy any review books for ATI, they come with the ATI program. Your school will provide them for you when you start!

Maybe it would be beneficial to take some time off from school all together and get some clinical experience (maybe as a nursing aide or EMT) to see if nursing is a career you definitely want to pursue. You'll get great experience and it'd would look great on your nursing school app. You can work as you finish your pre reqs.
