 experienced critical care nurse position to a student registered nurse ane
 sthetist (SRNA) poses significant challenges such as increased levels of a
 nxiety\, stress\, and decreased well-being. The benefits of mentorship hav
 e documented benefits within the literature\, but the American Association
  of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) has no guidelines regarding formalized mento
 rship programs. A descriptive mixed-methods needs assessment using a conve
 rgent parallel design was conducted to evaluate stress levels and percepti
 ons of mentorship among SRNAs that utilized an informal mentorship program
  at an R1 Nurse Anesthesia Program (NAP) in the Southeastern United States
 . Quantitative data was collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10
 )\, while qualitative data was obtained through three-open ended questions
  exploring perceptions of the current informal mentorship structure and pe
 rceived needs for a formal mentorship program. 44 students participated in
  this needs assessment\, with a mean PSS-10 score of 16.5\; 67% of student
 s fell within the moderate stress category. Findings indicated strong supp
 ort for students having a structured mentorship program with biweekly ment
 or-mentee check-ins\, a primer resource document for graduate school\, and
  emphasizing support for first-year students to help reduce stress levels.
