A mentoring experience among undergraduate nursing students: Dialogic reflections and resonances

Abstract

This is an experience report about the Peer Mentoring Program in Nursing of the University of Brasília. It focuses on the supportive relationships and mutual learning established between students. The students’ narratives, registered in online forms administered in each edition of the Program, reveal the construction of more humanized and dialogic relationships, grounded on solidarity and constituted during the mentoring process. Students were able to experience and develop skills and values of a relational and reflective praxis, essential to the construction of a collective work that lays the foundation for the area of health and nursing. The resonances of this experience permeate unfinished and incomplete beings who, in the process of becoming increasingly aware of their own incompleteness, can move permanently in the quest for autonomy and new potentialities in their academic journey.
