Abstract
The transition from nursing student to clinical professional is a pivotal moment in a nurse's career, often marked by significant challenges. To address these challenges and provide support during the transition, an innovative mentorship program was developed to connect graduating baccalaureate nursing students with experienced alumni. The purpose was to foster alumni connections while strengthening students' coping skills, self-confidence, and resilience during the transition to practice.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
