Option 1 Mentorship

Initial Post

Does your SPP offer the opportunity to be a mentor and/or preceptor in a practice setting? Cho et al. (2011) identified the following attributes of an outstanding mentor:

  • Exhibits enthusiasm, compassion, and selflessness
  • Acts as a career guide, tailored to the mentee
  • Is able to make a time commitment
  • Supports personal/professional balance
  • Has effective communication skills
  • Is respected in the workplace by peers and senior administrators
  • Is politically astute
  • Is highly knowledgeable in the field (Moran et al., 2020, p. 261) NU-740 : Week 10 Discussion 1: Mentorship or Leadership

Reflect upon the above eight attributes and how you would rate yourself as a mentor. How might you achieve increased competency in any of these attributes during your SPP to develop fully in your advanced practice role?

Provide the name and contact information of your proposed mentor. This is someone in the community who will support you in your SPP as a content expert.
