Advice for Creating New NP Mentorship Programs

career resources mentorship np student on the job learning real world topics Sep 26, 2024

Mentorship programs for new nurse practitioners are nothing less than life-changing. Mentorship programs can help ease the transition to practice for new nurse practitioners, providing guidance, reducing burnout, and building new clinicians' confidence to take excellent care of their patients. 

I’ve been running Real World NP for 5 years and have offered a few different mentorship programs for new nurse practitioners. I found mentorship to be extremely supportive as a new grad myself, and have tried a few different types of offerings for mentorship programs through Real World NP  (1-on-1, various groups and durations) to explore what other new nurse practitioners would find supportive.

I’ve gotten enough questions from the RWNP community about how we’ve done things here in our mentorship programs over the years that I wanted to record an episode to share with you if that’s something you either want to create or advocate for your clinic to create to support you!

There are MANY ways to support new nurse practitioners, and in this episode, I shared my experiences and insights from starting and running mentorship programs. I discussed different structures to consider, frequency, and duration of mentorship meetings, topics to cover, and some options for program design that have worked better than others.
