  • 1.  Ambulatory Mentorship Program

    Posted 02-06-2024 14:54

    Good afternoon,

    Are there any organizations that have successfully implemented a mentorship program for either new graduate nurses or new nurses transitioning into ambulatory care? I would love to hear your success stories and if there are any resources (surveys, training programs, etc.). that can be shared. Looking forward to hearing from you all, thank you!

    We are currently working on this at UNC. We started with our ambulatory leaders and are now moving toward shared governance for our ambulatory nurses and mentoring. I would love to hear if anyone has successfully implemented this. Our SHARE survey showed that our nurses are hungry for it!

    Good morning, 

    Our updated Preceptor Guide for Ambulatory Care Nursing will be available as an ebook in March. This second edition provides tools to enhance a preceptor role effectiveness. Its up-to-date information includes a chapter on telehealth and the need to expand competencies in this area. It includes concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as workforce resilience.  The current Guide can be downloaded at no cost for members to give you an idea of the information contained in it. 

    Ambulatory Care Nursing Orientation and Competency Assessment Guide  is also a strong resource that can help you with the orientation of new nurses. 

    Hope this helps!

    If you have any questions about the resources, don't hesitate to reach out. Have a great day,

    Jennie

    I created a mentorship program for our Ambulatory Division. My partner and I participated in an EBP fellowship with our organization. We published our work in ViewPoint Sept/Oct 2024. We created a tool kit and step by step guidelines for the implementation process. This was for all ambulatory nurses both new and old. We had a call for both mentors and mentees and did some education for both. I am happy to provide any additional information if anyone is interested.

    Hello Laura, 

    We have also been talking about doing a mentorship program here at Valley Family Health Care.  Would you be willing to share your toolkit and step by step guidelines?

    I appreciate your assistance with this.  

    Thanks!
