Registration Deadline: January 14, 2025
Cost: Free for nursing students, KCNA members/scholarship recipients

Description:While nursing is a rewarding and honored profession, it can also be challenging and stressful, especially when you first begin. There is so much to learn, and you may not feel like you can ask questions at school or in the workplace. That’s where KCNA’s MentorLink comes in! Our most experienced nurse mentors will be reviewing how they started their nurse journey, where it took them, and how, with 20/20 vision, they can look back and share the things they wished they would have known at that time.
Q&A session will follow the presentation.
