I think that mentoring was a wonderful choice in topics. I feel like this is important to all nurses – as well as your presentation and data proved this. I wish people took mentoring programs more seriously and let it help them in their careers as nurses. I feel like at times nurses become to proud to accept a mentor or have someone bring in new ideas or help. This is something we can step back from and learn from. Overall, presentation was very clear and to the point. Good job!
As you shared the benefits of mentoring includes career satisfaction, quality of care, patient satisfaction, better patient outcomes, and nurse retention. These are all positive benefits that improve nursing practice. I think that mentoring is important also due to the always changing health care system with new technologies to learn, older and more critical patients, and the expectation of Medicare to give the best care or reimbursement is reduced. Thanks for the post.
Great topic! I have had some great mentors in my career and some not so great mentors. I have learned many things from both types. I also love mentoring new people, but I have found it to be frustrating at times, especially when you are paired with someone who is not teachable. I wonder if there is a way to do a personality trait quiz or survey so that like people can be paired together? I think it is important to trust the person you are mentoring and for the person who is being mentored to trust the person who is mentoring them. Good job!
I really like this topic, as I feel it does increase job satisfaction when you have someone who you trust that provides feedback.
“Mentoring is a reciprocal and collaborative learning relationship between two individuals with mutual goals and shared accountability for the success of the relationship” (Hynatiuk, 2013). I have several people at work that I consider mentors, who come to me for advice and also accept my opinion when it’s given. We work together to find the common good and it makes my work days smoother and more enjoyable.

In this research it indicated that for reduced turnover, adequate mentoring is needed.
I think that failure of graduate nurses to be mentored, heightens some individualistic attitudes in nursing. I have observed new graduates that start of standoffish and know it all, ignoring that the veterans they ignore are the right resource as they take baby steps in the profession
VEry impressive work and raises my interest in mentoring

Mentoring is a great topic! Nursing can sometimes seem like a dog-eat-dog world. I think mentoring is a great way to communicate, teach, and interact with one another without any feeling of competition. Right after graduation, I felt like I had no idea what I was doing and was very intimidated. I had a great mentor in the ER that was very experienced and genuinely wanted me to see me do well. Eight years later, she continues to be someone that I look to or can easily talk to about questions or concerns. I think every new graduate or nurse moving to a new position deserves that kind of professional relationship.
