Boost Your Confidence and Skills through a Diversity Nursing Fellowship Program

A little guidance goes a long way, and from my personal experience, I can say that mentorship should be adapted in all spheres of life and for everyone so that all of us get a fair chance to build ourselves.  As a person from an underprivileged background, mentor programs are especially beneficial for people like me who wouldn’t otherwise have the chance for a leg up in their career.

Since childhood, I’ve dreamt of becoming a nurse. As a child, I used to make caps of paper, place it on my head and whenever we used to play, I had to be the nurse who tends to people. This dream grew with me and by the time I was in college, this was something I wanted to pursue. I started sending applications and wherever I went for interviews I was not selected based on my inexperience and the quality of my schooling. A year passed and nothing happened.

My uncle worked at a reputed hospital and he referred me to the diversity program conducted in the hospital. I was, am and will always be thankful to him. We were taught about the various aspects of healthcare and had to undergo orientation programs, classes, and the best of all, practical application.  Getting enrolled in this program automatically enables you to be a part of the diversity mentoring program where we were allowed to speak to our assigned mentors about our experiences, situations, and frustrations during our training period.

The mentors were amazing and encouraged me to a great extent. They made me look at my capabilities and helped me develop a more analytical mind. I developed confidence, and by the end of the training, I was selected to work as a trainee in the hospital. They even taught me to respect my background and celebrate being a part of it.

If you have a dream and what to realize it put your full effort and with proper mentoring through diversity mentoring program and training you can achieve your goal.
