Background of the Study
Mentorship programs have been recognized as pivotal in enhancing the academic performance and professional development of nursing students. In Bauchi State, Nigeria, the integration of mentorship within nursing education aims to support students' academic success and clinical competence. However, the specific impact of these programs on students' academic outcomes in this region remains underexplored.
