Starting out

I'm starting out on my PhD in the UK, exploring the experiences of mentors for students in pre-registration nurse education. However, there are many potential overlaps with other professions, so I would hope that this blog may be read by mentors and students in a range of professions. There's a lot written about the role of mentors, but not so much about the "lived experience" - thoughts and feelings and perceptions of the experiences. I would love to hear from people who mentor students in their professions, to get a feel for the range of experience and some of the features of mentoring that make it different from other roles at work.
