New graduate nurses can now make a smooth transition from nursing school to the bedside simply by logging on.
An online mentoring program offered by the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses (AMSN) is helping new nurses discover mentors through electronic communication, such as e-mail and chat rooms.
The initiative is part of AMSN's hospital-based "Nurses Nurturing Nurses" mentoring program, which aims to help new nurses develop personally and professionally. The new online component allows for more efficient communication between the mentee and mentor who often have busy schedules. To participate, mentees must have less than two years of professional nursing experience and be an AMSN member.
Studies have found when nurses are mentored during the early-and often most critical-stages of their career, they tend to stay at their place of work longer.
