It is well documented that successful completion of nursing education programs for underrepresented minority students is challenging. In an effort to address these challenges, Marquette University College of Nursing launched a project entitled Marquette University: Promoting Minority BSN Student Success, funded by a Nurse Education, Practice, Quality and Retention (NEPQR) grant. One of the stated objectives of the project was to develop retention strategies that support underrepresented minority BSN students to be successful and graduate. A mentoring program was developed as one of the core initiatives in support of this objective. Researchers have shown that when undergraduate nursing students form stable mentoring relationships with other students, dedicated faculty and staff, and/or practicing registered nurses, they are more likely to be successful in their nursing education programs. Student mentees and mentors, as well as registered nurse mentors, who participated in the mentoring program, have reported positive outcomes as evidenced by end of semester focus group discussions. This paper describes the four phase mentoring program developed to promote successful mentoring relationships and analysis of the mentors’/mentees’ focus group data.
