 ning from critical care nurse to a student registered nurse anesthetist (S
 RNA) poses challenges\, including increased anxiety. Despite mentorship be
 nefits well documented in the literature\, the American Association of Nur
 se Anesthetists (AANA) lacks formal mentorship program guidelines. \n\nPur
 pose: This study obtained a needs assessment on the anxiety levels of stud
 ents and current perceptions of an informal mentorship program at an R1 Un
 iversity and Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP) to make recommendations for fu
 ture implementation of a formal mentorship program. \n\nMethods: A mixed-m
 ethods needs assessment evaluated anxiety levels and perceptions of mentor
 ship among SRNAs. Quantitative data was collected using the Generalized An
 xiety Scale 7 (GAD-7)\, while qualitative data was obtained through three-
 open ended questions exploring perceptions of the current informal mentors
 hip structure and perceived needs for a formal mentorship program. \n\nRes
 ults: There was a moderate level of increased anxiety levels among this SR
 NA population. Among the free responses\, students requested more structur
 ed mentorship around critical transition periods\, such as matriculation o
 f didactic course work\, beginning of clinical rotations\, and transition 
 into independent practice upon graduation.\n\nConclusion: A moderate level
  of increased anxiety levels among SRNAs presents an opportunity for impro
 vement with a more formalized\, structured mentorship program at the NAP.
