Appreciating Mentorship

This integrative review explored mentor—mentee relationships and benefits from the perspective of the mentor rather than that of the mentee, and identified that mentees and mentors have similar experiences and perceptions.

Abstract

nurses entering a specialty field may not have the necessary skill set for competent practice in that specialty and should be viewed as novice and advanced beginner specialty nurses until their level of proficiency is established. Novice case managers could benefit from mentorship for guidance through Benner's stages of clinical proficiency and development.
