As a "Promise" to herself and her profession, the PROMISE program arose from one nurse's sincere dedication and heartfelt promise to offer guidance and support to those in her profession.   This is a mentorship program that is intended for the senior-level nursing student with a maintenance of a mentor-mentee relationship not only as a student but as he/she transitions into the role of registered nurse and as the student grows to become an established professional. 

Just as strong as this nurse's love and compassion is for fellow nursing students and nurses, East Tennessee State University's College of Nursing has this same desire and dedication for nursing students and nurses and is dedicated and supportive of this mentorship endeavor.  The College of Nursing  offers support and encouragement in association with the PROMISE program as well offers alumni that volunteer as mentors for the program. 

The PROMISE program represents a: 

(P) professional (R) resource (O) offering (M) mentoring (I), inspiration (S), security (E) and education.
