Abstract

Leadership and mentoring are integral components of the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) role. There is a lack of opportunities for APRN students to acquire and demonstrate these skills. Peer mentoring of APRN students can lead to increased confidence in their leadership abilities and ease adjustment to the APRN role.
