Starting my journey at UC College of Nursing was nerve-wracking, especially being far from home and friends. But when I joined the iLEAD program, everything changed. The Learning Community (LC) provided me with a group of supportive peers and mentors who helped me navigate the challenges of nursing school. iLEAD connected us through weekly meetings, offering advice and building lasting friendships. Now, as an iLEAD mentor myself, I love providing the same support to first-year students, ensuring they know they are never alone. UC’s nursing program fosters a community where students help each other thrive, both academically and personally.

From the moment I was accepted into the University of Cincinnati (UC) Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, I knew I had made the right choice. Although I hadn’t realized until my freshman year in the pre-Physician’s Assistant (PA) program that I wanted to switch to nursing, once I made the decision, I had an entire support system to guide me through the transition. Every advisor I encountered was there to offer guidance, explain the requirements and help me prepare for the shift. I truly felt well-equipped for the journey ahead of me.

Jordyn Bailey's deep involvement in different organizations and initiatives stems from a strong belief in the power of community and the responsibility to uplift others. Leadership is not just about individual achievement, but about using one’s position to create opportunities, foster inclusion and give back to those who may not have the same resources or support. Being involved in so many different aspects of campus life has allowed her to connect with people from diverse backgrounds, amplify underrepresented voices and actively contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment.
