The benefits of mentoring for new nurse practitioners is well-documented, and the need is widely reported by national organizations such as the Institute of Medicine, National League of Nursing, American Nurses Association, and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. A task force led by Susan Meier, DNP APRN NNP-BC, created this invaluable resource to fill a gap during a nurse’s transition into their new role as a nurse practitioner. This program supports an interpersonal model that balances the career development needs of individuals with an organizations growth and productivity goals. It provides a complete set of tools and activities to support the mentoring relationship as your new nurse practitioners develop from novice to expert.
