“The NBNA collaborative mentorship program is for the purpose of helping NBNA nurses/student nurses at various levels of their development. There are several levels of development in the nursing profession and every nurse can benefit from mentorship. In NBNA the three levels of mentoring are new nurses/student nurses, nurses transitioning into new nursing roles and nurses advancing into leadership roles.” - Dr. Eric Williams, President, NBNA
