26. Mission • Organize, represent, and mentor students preparing for initial licensure as registered nurses enrolled in baccalaureate completion programs, in becoming practitioners sensitive to the cultural diversity that exists in our society • Promote the development of the skills needed to be responsible, accountable members of the nursing profession who respect the differences and similarities between people • Advocate for high quality care, utilizing the principles of transcultural nursing • Facilitate the development of peer support systems, which enhance recruitment and retention within the nursing profession

27. Why should you implement a BTN Project? Implementing a BTN project is a great way to motivate, influence or educate others about the wide variety of opportunities in nursing.

28. Project Ideas • Become mentors to potential students. Provide “shadow” opportunities for them. • Recruit “second-career” people into nursing by going to business career days. • Attend professional organization meetings and share information about nursing and BTN. • Purchase coloring books for elementary school children on various web sites that explain and promote a positive image of nursing. • Partner with your local nursing organization.
