Mentorship is an important part of success for many professionals. ExceptionalNurse.com encourages nurses and nursing students with disabilities to become mentors to other nursing students and nurses with disabilities. If you have “been there” and “done that,” please share your experiences with others.

Nursing students and nurses with disabilities are encouraged to request a mentor or volunteer to be a mentor. Every effort will be made to link people with similar interests.

The following nurses or students have volunteered to be mentor "email pals" to other nurses or nursing students. Get Connected! You are not alone.
