| The Mentoring
of Nursing Faculty Tool Kit©
The NLN Task Group on Healthful Work Environments is proud to introduce
the Mentoring of Nursing Faculty Tool Kit, an extension
of the work of the Task Group on Recruitment and Retention of Faculty
and an outgrowth of the 2006 Mentoring of Nurse Faculty position
statement. The Mentoring of Nurse Faculty position statement
included a recommendation for the NLN to develop a “Tool Kit”
to promote enacting mentoring among nurse faculty.
The Mentoring of Nursing Faculty Tool Kit is comprised of a series
of questions to cultivate reflective assessment of mentoring practices
in nursing units and includes examples of literature references
and online resources that provide further information about mentoring
in a variety of areas. Individuals may be interested in using the
tool kit as a guide when seeking a mentor, or a protégé,
while faculty groups or nursing education administrators may find
the tool kit useful in developing and assessing mentoring programs
at their institutions. Overall, the tool kit is a resource designed
to enhance healthful work environments that support educators in
their work and contribute to the recruitment and retention of nurse
faculty.
