## Summary & Core Narrative
A short note can matter to a student struggling through nursing school. Carla Coverdale contributes to Bloomberg Nursing's Words of Wisdom campaign and has helped students find mental-health support as a clinical instructor. Fellow alum Alex Harris mentors graduate students, a commitment she says has renewed her own energy for nursing.

Other volunteers bring students into clinical practice. Emergency nurse practitioner Carrie Kan works as a preceptor and instructor, learning alongside the people she teaches. Brock Cooper has mentored undergraduate and nurse practitioner students, supported admissions and helped develop an online module about adult depression. Their accounts describe teaching as an exchange between generations of nurses.
