This book was released on 2012 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interview study examined perceptions of tenure track nursing faculty currently involved, or previously involved, as mentees in nursing departments in order to gather their reports about characteristics of their mentoring relationships, as well as the benefits and shortcomings of the mentoring they experienced. This occurred within seven baccalaureate schools of nursing in a single east coast state. The major conclusions were: 1. Mentors promote interpersonal bonding by serving as guides and resources for their mentees, which results in mentees freely dialoguing with department members. 2. Creating an environment of social support for new faculty mentees involves clearly defining expectations, inviting members to participate with mentors and other university leaders at meetings both at the university, as well as the surrounding communities. It is also important for the department of nursing to ensure that mentors are fully available to provide mentees with opportunities to listen, give advice, and provide feedback. 3. Mentors need to expose their mentees to opportunities for active participation in research, applying for grants, networking, and discussions about internal review board processes, as well as demands placed on nurse educators, as opposed to nurse clinicians. Discussion of all these topics should be incorporated into the department faculty and school of nursing meetings, which mentees should attend. 4. Departmental and school history needs to be communicated to new nursing faculty formally, rather than allowing such information to be only transmitted informally. 5. Mentors must be accessible to mentees when they first start their jobs. How responsive they are and how much time is devoted to the new mentoring relationship is very important, as is responding to mentees needs in a positive fashion by devoting time for one-to-one meetings weekly or every other week. These one-to-one interactions help to facilitate bonding between mentor and mentee.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing faculty shortage and its contributing factors have been well documented in the literature. Contributory factors include lack of graduate prepared faculty, difficulty recruiting and retaining faculty, and a decrease in job satisfaction within the faculty role. The use of mentoring programs has the potential to impact the nursing faculty shortage by increasing job satisfaction while providing novice faculty with additional support during the transition from clinical nurse to nursing faculty. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the importance of and satisfaction with characteristics of mentoring in full time nursing faculty teaching in baccalaureate degree programs or higher. This study aimed to determine the degree to which nursing faculty perceive the importance of characteristics of the mentor and mentoring relationship, as well as the level of satisfaction with the mentor and mentoring relationship. Benner's theory of novice to expert was used as the theoretical framework for this cross-sectional study. Full-time nursing faculty in a Midwestern state were surveyed using convenience sampling. The survey instrument consisted of demographic data, modified Perceptions of Mentoring Relationships Survey, and satisfaction with mentoring. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics with measures of central tendency, independent t-test, and standard deviation. The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant relationship among survey items; however, mentoring characteristics that proved to be both of high importance and high satisfaction were identified. Deeper insight into the characteristics of mentoring that are of importance and produce satisfaction is essential into the development of formal mentoring programs to make positive, lasting impacts on the nursing faculty shortage.

This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentoring between adults and youth or children at risk is a widely used intervention. However, mentoring relationships often end prematurely and this may place a vulnerable mentee at even greater risk. Research suggests that mentors who are more satisfied with the relationship may be more likely to persist longer in the relationship. The purpose of this study was to identify specific characteristics within- mentors and mentoring programs that are associated with mentor perceived relationship quality with the mentoring experience. The study specifically investigated whether mentors' motivations for engaging in the mentoring program, mentoring style, and previous training and experience are associated with mentors' perception of relationship quality. Within-program characteristics such as program training and support provided to the mentor was also examined to determine how these factors may be related to the mentor's perception of relationship quality. Mentors were contacted through the administrator of their program and asked to complete an online survey which queried specific within-mentor and within-program characteristics. Five mentoring programs participated in the survey with a total n= 72 of mentors included in the study. Results from the study suggest that mentors' perception of relationship quality may be influenced by mentoring style, a within- mentor characteristic. This within-mentor characteristic explained 22% of the variance of mentor perception of relationship quality. Demographic information was also gathered on mentor characteristics such as education, age, and career of the mentor as well as possible risk factors of the mentees according to the perception of the mentor. Limitations of the study and contributions to the field of mentoring and future research directions are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing and aging population has created an increased demand for health care, resulting in a need for hundreds of thousands more nurses across the United States. As a result, additional nurse faculty are needed to teach the next generation of nurses. However, nurses who enter the faculty role in academia often come from various professional backgrounds with different educational preparation that may not equate to success with the tripartite faculty role of teaching, scholarship, and service. As a way to retain and develop novice faculty, mentoring relationships and programs are promoted as an intervention for career and psychosocial development within academia. Mentoring is an interpersonal process built on mutual trust and friendship to create a professional and personal bond. Mentoring relationships can help develop selfconfidence, productivity, and career satisfaction among nurse faculty members. Effective mentoring relationships can ease the transition into academia and provide a vital foundation for productive academic careers. However, the interpersonal process that is the hallmark of mentoring can differ between a mentor and protégé, leading to vast differences in quality and effectiveness. Although mentoring is widely recommended, little is known about the process of mentoring relationships in academia or how novice nurse faculty utilize mentoring to transition into academia. The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study is to uncover a theoretical framework that describes how mentoring relationships, as experienced by novice nurse faculty, unfold. Charmaz's method of grounded theory was used to interview full-time novice nurse faculty (N = 21) with three years or less in the faculty role from nursing programs across the United States. The grounded theory theoretical framework, Creating Mentorship Pathways to Navigate Academia captures the process of mentoring as experienced by novice nurse faculty within academia. The theoretical framework contains five main phases as described by novice nurse faculty being assigned a formal mentor, not having mentoring needs met, seeking an informal mentor, connecting with mentor, and doing the work of mentoring. Participants created mentorship pathways through both formal and informal mentoring relationships to navigate academia by acquiring knowledge, meeting expectations, and functioning in the role as a faculty member.
Download or read book Mentoring Novice Nursing Faculty written by Cynthia Apollonia Wright and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics' Registered Nursing Workforce Projection, the shortage of registered nurses in the United States is predicted to reach 1.2 million nurses needed by the year 2020. In 2013, almost 80,000 qualified registered nurse applicants had been turned away from U.S. baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs. Nearly two-thirds of nursing schools identified faculty shortages as a major reason for not accepting qualified applicants into their programs (AACN, 2013). Mentorship has been cited as a best practice to successfully develop new nursing faculty that will improve recruitment, retention, and foster future nurse mentors (Dunham-Taylor, Lynn, Moore, McDaniel, Walker, 2008). Purpose: This qualitative pilot study will explore the meaning of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs. There is a significant gap in the literature, with limited studies, found in both qualitative and quantitative research exploring the mentoring experiences and/or characteristics of a positive mentor specific for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs (Anderson 2009, Anibas, Hanson-Brenner, Zorn, 2009, Cho, Ramanan, Feldman, 2011). This study aims to gain deeper understanding of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor. Research Question 1: What are positive mentoring experiences for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs? Research Question 2: What are characteristics in a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs?
