NurseMentor: support & guidance for Nursing undergraduates

Registration will reopen August 2025 for the new season.

UCalgary Nursing alumni and undergraduate students interested in mentoring are invited to contact us by email for more information.

***

Through NurseMentor, alumni of UCalgary Nursing have helped students become more confident nurses.
In our eighth year of mentoring, we hope to connect more talented RNs with our dedicated nursing students to share mutual insight and guidance.

The purpose of NurseMentor is to support undergraduate student nurses in their professional and personal development and to engage nursing alumni in a meaningful way. Mentoring is a success when both student and mentor are committed to a reciprocal relationship.

All nursing students deserve a mentor, while nurses need a fresh perspective and reminders of their original love of nursing. Consider being a mentor to an aspiring nurse, or seeking a mentor to help clarify your own path as a new nurse.

Mentors and student mentees are invited to join the current season of NurseMentor! Registration will open in August for the 2025/26 season.

1: Register

In this step you will be asked a few questions about what interests you and what you hope to gain from mentoring. This will help us determine a best fit for you.

2: We do the matching

The NurseMentor coordinator will match you with a compatible mentor or mentee when one becomes available, and you will be notified.

3: You get connected

Student mentees should initiate the first contact with their mentor. Pairs determine how and when to connect - ideally, two contacts per month. Good communication is the key to a successful mentorship.

Mentorship Matters

Mentorship is a passion for me that has been part of my career from the beginning. I have mentored many mentees, and I have been a mentee multiple times over the years.

"I believe mentorship is one of the most important paths to self-enrichment and growth as a professional while providing the same for another. The mutual gain that results from a mentor-mentee relationship is often equally beneficial to both parties, thus making mentorship one of my most significant career decisions."

"Pam’s mentorship has been empowering. She reminds me to become comfortable with uncertainty while navigating change."
