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.
一个以大学为基础、由学生运营的护理组织提高了该组织成员的文化意识、学术环境和表现。国际学生护理组织主办了文化活动和同伴辅导计划。参与同伴辅导计划的成员被随机配对为导师（高年级学生）或 mentees（低年级学生）；导师可获得服务时长。对第一批学生的两个学期的统计数据进行了跟踪。与整个毕业班相比，导师在综合结业考试和护理执照考试中的总成绩更高。营造了一个促进学生专业和领导技能的合作与学习环境。
