"Practice based on evidence can decrease the uncertainty that patients and clinicians experience in a complex and ever changing healthcare system (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2005). Evidence-based practice supports and informs clinical, administrative, and educational decision making, considers internal and external influences on practice, encourages critical thinking in the application of evidence to care of the individual patient, patient population, or system and uses the latest research evidence to produce high quality care (Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh, & White, 2007). The purpose of this evidence-based practice change project is to blend the mentorship program with the new graduate nurse's orientation program to help reduce the stress of the novice nurse during the transition period and to determine the impact of mentoring of the novice nurse on retention which may directly impact the quality of care and safety of patients in the clinical setting and improve patient satisfaction. Mentoring is practiced in many professions and in many different ways. A mentoring relationship is one in which two individuals grow and develop respect for each other's knowledge level, abilities and capabilities. The relationship may last for an indefinite period of time. Also invaluable experiences and values may be gained and shared in the relationship. The literature provides evidence that the mentoring process for new graduate nurses can provide professional supports to ease the transition from student nurse to practicing nurse and improve retention rates (Halfer, Graf, & Sullivan, 2008) thereby improving patient care which may directly impact patient satisfaction. Background The nursing shortage is no new subject and will continue to escalate to crisis proportions as baby boomers leave the profession to retirement and/or nurses leave the profession to non-nursing related jobs due to dissatisfaction with their nursing role. Also surveys have indicated that registered nurses (RN's and Chief Nursing Officers believe the nursing shortage has negatively affected the quality and safety of patient care (Buerhaus, Donelan, Ulrich, Norman, & Dittus, 2006) which also impacts patient satisfaction in the clinical setting. The United States nursing shortage is expected to grow to over 250,000 registered nurses by the year 2025 (AACN Fact Sheet, 2009). Additionally, nationwide nurse turnover rates are at an all time high ranging approximately 55% to 61% and 35% to 69% of new graduate nurses leave their respected place of employment within the first year (Persaud, 2008). Also the cost of replacing one registered nurse can range anywhere from $30,000 to $145,000 depending on the geographic location and/or specialty area (Block, Claffey, Korow, & McCaffey, 2005). " ...

According to the 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics' Registered Nursing Workforce Projection, the shortage of registered nurses in the United States is predicted to reach 1.2 million nurses needed by the year 2020. In 2013, almost 80,000 qualified registered nurse applicants had been turned away from U.S. baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs. Nearly two-thirds of nursing schools identified faculty shortages as a major reason for not accepting qualified applicants into their programs (AACN, 2013). Mentorship has been cited as a best practice to successfully develop new nursing faculty that will improve recruitment, retention, and foster future nurse mentors (Dunham-Taylor, Lynn, Moore, McDaniel, Walker, 2008). Purpose: This qualitative pilot study will explore the meaning of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs. There is a significant gap in the literature, with limited studies, found in both qualitative and quantitative research exploring the mentoring experiences and/or characteristics of a positive mentor specific for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs (Anderson 2009, Anibas, Hanson-Brenner, Zorn, 2009, Cho, Ramanan, Feldman, 2011). This study aims to gain deeper understanding of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor. Research Question 1: What are positive mentoring experiences for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs? Research Question 2: What are characteristics in a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs?

Success. Job satisfaction. Leadership. How are these developed and nurtured in a nursing career? Can mentors make a difference? They can and do, according to this book---edited by two pioneering researchers in the field of nursing mentorship. Here they explore the conceptual and practical aspects of mentorship and what it means in nursing. They are joined by more than a hundred nurses, including nurse leaders such as Beverly Malone, Marla Salmon, and Joyce Fitzpatrick, who contribute stories, essays, and personal reflections on mentorship. Their voices, in addition to the editor's research, suggest that nurses are inventing a new, evolving, and very meaningful paradigm, which reaps mentorship's classic benefits: career success and advancement personal and professional satisfaction, enhanced self-esteem and confidence, preparation for leadership roles and succession, and strengthening of the profession. The book describes the dynamics of both informal mentor relationships and structured mentorship programs, such as those used in schools of nursing to help disadvantaged students. In addition to looking at education, the book describes how mentorship plays a role in the practice setting, in professional organizations, and with peers and groups, and how it promotes international and cross-cultural understanding.

With the current shortages of nurses and the need for additional nurse educators, it becomes imperative that the profession of nursing seek out methods of encouraging and mentoring our novice nurse educators. A research study was performed to determine if nursing programs in Arkansas are implementing the strategy of mentoring to elevate job satisfaction and retention of nurse educators. Participants were invited to complete a self-reporting questionnaire consisting of 17 questions designed to assess for the presence of a mentoring program, as well as the method for selection of those serving as mentors. The sample invited to participate consisted of program directors, chairs, or deans of nursing schools in Arkansas. These individuals were targeted because of their status and would have full knowledge of their programs in the areas such as the number of faculty, and any processes implemented for the mentoring of new faculty members. Review of findings showed that 82.35% of respondents indicated their institutions did have mentoring programs, and 50% of the respondents indicated there was a formal plan for mentoring of novice nurse educators.
