BACKGROUND: Academic leaders are concerned about the retention rate of nursing students; peer mentoring may be one strategy for student success. Research studies on mentoring indicate the benefits of mentoring accrue for both mentors and mentees. METHOD: A peer voluntary mentorship program operated in coordination with an academic resource center for a decade. It included training and weekly meetings. Mentors were senior nursing students who had a minimum B+ average and faculty recommendations. All mentors kept journal logs of their time and reflections of their experience. RESULTS: Journal statements revealed that mentored nursing students felt more successful in their coursework, gained test-taking skills, and did better on examinations. Mentors gained confidence about their skills and were better prepared for the NCLEX. Mentees formed a natural support group. Mentors expressed concern about their students' success beyond the program. CONCLUSION: This program generated a culture of caring and support to the nursing students, with the understanding that they would give back to others what they had received.

The aim of this policy statement is to provide a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence evaluating the use of telemedicine in cardiovascular and stroke care and to provide consensus policy suggestions. We evaluate the effectiveness of telehealth in advancing healthcare quality, identify legal and regulatory barriers that impede telehealth adoption or delivery, propose steps to overcome these barriers, and identify areas for future research to ensure that telehealth continues to enhance the quality of cardiovascular and stroke care. The result of these efforts is designed to promote telehealth models that ensure better patient access to high-quality cardiovascular and stroke care while striving for optimal protection of patient safety and privacy.
