A typical mentorship program involves several key steps:
1. Application and Matching: Nurses interested in becoming mentors or mentees apply to the program. Program coordinators then match mentors and mentees based on criteria such as experience, specialties, and career goals. 2. Initial Meeting: The mentor and mentee have an initial meeting to discuss expectations, goals, and preferred methods of communication. 3. Regular Check-Ins: Mentors and mentees schedule regular meetings to discuss progress, challenges, and new learning opportunities. 4. Evaluation and Feedback: Both parties periodically evaluate the mentorship relationship to ensure it is meeting their needs and make adjustments as necessary.
