    Author: Igbo IN, Sule EN.
    Journal: Nurs Educ Perspect; 2019; 40(3):192-193. PubMed ID: 29994886.
    Abstract:
    A university-based, student-run nursing organization improved cultural awareness, academic environment, and performance for members of the organization. The International Student Nursing Organization sponsored cultural events and a peer mentoring program. Members who participated in the peer mentoring program were randomly matched as mentors (seniors) or mentees (juniors); mentors were awarded service hours. Statistical data was tracked over two semesters for the first cohort of students. Mentors had a higher aggregate score on their comprehensive exit and nursing licensure exams when compared to their graduating class as a whole. A collegial and learning environment was created that promoted students' professional and leadership skills.
