Abstract

This quality improvement (QI) project is a multidisciplinary approach to mentoring, matching a doctorate of nurse practice (DNP) student in their final year and a second-semester post-baccalaureate (PBN) nursing English language learner (ELL) student who is enrolled in an accelerated nursing program in a small Midwest private college. This QI project seeks to answer two questions. First, will a DNP mentor who is trained in the principles of cultural Competemility improve the sense of belongingness for the ELL undergraduate nursing student through six weekly mentoring sessions using the 12 domains in Purnell's model as a guideline? Secondly, does training on principles of Cultural Competemility and applying the principles in six weekly mentoring sessions with an ELL diverse mentee improve the DNP student's perceived confidence level for future interactions with diverse populations in practice?
