Mentorship



Mentoring is a dynamic, shared relationship where both parties learn and grow together.

Mentees benefit in finding support and building confidence. For nursing students, new nursing graduates, and nurses in transition, the opportunity to work with a mentor can have a powerful impact on career success.

Nurse mentors often describe benefiting from the relationship as well. While furthering their own learning and professional practice, mentors are able to make a difference in the professional lives of the next generation of nurses!

At the ONC, mentors and mentees are able to find a match, identify goals, and create plans for professional development – all in just an hour or two of weekly on-line interaction!

Read the Mentorship Guidelines >>
The mentorship guidelines are useful to all individuals considering involvement in the mentorship program, or as a reference for those already participating.

“From my perspective, MENTORING is about fostering relationships that enable nurses to share their passions, plan, set goals, and work toward the 'possibles' that were once only dreams."
