Nurse Practitioner Mentoring

Mentoring assists to develop NPs and expand their roles, it provides opportunities to observe colleagues practice, to succession plan, and consolidate skills and knowledge. Mentoring encourages and provides constructive feedback, and a willingness to share knowledge and skills in a open, trusted, and respectful environment. 

This mentoring relationship nurtures, supports and challenges the prospective, emerging or experienced NP to expand their practice, while supporting their ability to meet the National Competency Standards for Nurse Practitioners.  The relationship can exist regardless of location or context of practice, and can be mutually beneficial in broadening experience.

Read the ACNP Mentorship Position Statement for clarification.
