Module 3: Mentoring

· Read chapter 16  Socializing and Educating Staff for Team Building in your Marquis & Huston text (pay special attention to role models, preceptors and mentors, and coaching)

· Preceptors and Mentors are not the same thing!

· Preceptors and preceptees are assigned for orientation.

· Mentors and mentees self-select themselves for long-term relationships.

Now answer the following:  You have been precepting a novice nurse who was recently hired on your unit.  Things have gone well.  The novice nurse is nearing the end of their orientation.  The nurse asks if you will continue to mentor them and you agree.   First, explain the differences between a preceptor and mentor.  Then, create guidelines for facilitating this mentoring relationship such as what can you do on your part, what can the nurse do on their part, and what can you do to work together to facilitate and foster this relationship.  (Your response should be 125+ words.) Be sure to cite all 3 above sources.
