Abstract
Nursing professional development practitioners and leadership staff implemented a second Transitional Mentor Education Program. The pilot program was classroom based; however, with pandemic restrictions, a shift to deliver a hybrid mentoring program was needed. Learning needs, clinician well-being, and professional development were addressed. Regardless of the method of educational delivery, the nurses in Phase 2 achieved the same outcomes as the pilot program, including increased clinical confidence, communication, integration of stress reduction strategies, and reflective practice.
