title: A culturally conscious model of mentoring.
abstract: Nursing has received funding to create model programs for the recruitment and retention of minority/disadvantaged nursing students. In examining these programs, the philosophy guiding the mentoring component of these programs is often based on traditional mentoring principles. The purpose of this article was to enhance the mentoring component of recruitment and retention programs for minority/disadvantaged nursing students by proposing a culturally conscious model of mentoring based on Campinha-Bacote's model of cultural competence.
