Posted over 2 years ago Isn't learning what life is mostly about? Having a mentor is a great way to get trusted advice on how to advance your career and improve the quality of life. This week we want to know:
What do you look for in a mentor, and if you already have one, how has your mentor helped guide you professionally and personally?
Help us and your fellow nurses seek out a mentor of our own that will lead to a lifetime of learning! |

| Posted over 2 years ago There has to be understanding, compassion and patience, not necessarily in that order. I am a firm believer in treating others the way you would like to be treated and try to live by that moto. I know I cannot judge everyone by my own standards, but I believe most nurses are in it because they enjoy working with and caring for others. That said, I have come across some very bad ones, Maxine1 |

| Posted over 2 years ago I have to agree with both of those posts in things to look for. For me the biggest part is just finding someone that I see as someone whom I would like to aspire to how they are. Someone that I think treats people with respects, kindness, and caring while at the same time being outstanding in their professionalism and very knowledgable in their care of patients. |

| Posted over 2 years ago When looking for a Mentor, I try and seek out someone who can make me better. A person who has skills that I don't currently possess. It could be their organization, or bedside manner. There is always room for improvement no matter how well or how long you have had a job, so I am always searching for people who can show me ways to make me better at my craft. |

| Posted over 1 year ago Just the facts, M'am. Personality means very little to me as long as a Mentor can relay that which is important in a succinct, sraight-forward manner. A Case in Point: A Microbiology Instructor for the RN Program was not well-liked by the majority of the Students. She was known to have a rather drab and blunted personality and presentation. However, she presented a multitude of material in a comprehensive, understanding way and I did well in her class. Then there was the popular, cutesy, animated A&P Instructor: Her lectures, to me at least, were like watching the cartoon character Richocete Rabbit on speed. It was the only class where I actually failed a test. I ended up with an above average grade at ithe class' cessation, but it was a real struggle focusing in her presence. Yep- I'd take Jack Webb over Richocete Rabbit any day. |

| Posted 5 months ago I would love to have a strict ,competent and patient mentor! Strict so I will be pressured to learn as much as I can; competent, so I can learn the things that I need to; patient, because I may not be able to learn things all at once! |

| Posted 5 months ago malenurse, I don't remember if you are in school or not, but if you are, you can get a professor to be a moderator.. If you are in a facility, think about the nurse manager.. Either may give you a run for your money...Someone will come around when you least expect it....Please keep us posted.. Teresa |
