Abstract

In the United States there is a shortage of experienced nursing faculty, and clinicians often transition to educator roles without any formal training; this often leads to significant stress and a period known as disorientation. Mentoring is one way to bridge the gap. This project focused on development and implementation of a mentoring program in an agency's department of graduate nursing. Project objectives included implementing a mentoring program to provide career development for new faculty and to cultivate mentor development to enhance the mentoring experience.
