Mentoring

The mentoring program supplements clinical orientation by providing a mechanism to assist the new employee as they adjust and transition from the graduate nurse to the RN role.

For Nurses – Mentoring

Participation in the Mentoring program is required for all GN’s and GVN’s. This program is considered “optional” for the experienced nurse. The newly employed graduate nurse will have the opportunity to select their nursing “mentor” during Nursing Orientation week.

Share needs and goals with your mentor
Actively listen to mentor and ask questions to clarify understanding
