ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Mentoring has long been regarded as one of the key components of research training and faculty development.PURPOSE:
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars program purposely facilitated scholars' development of a mentoring network by providing each individual with three mentors a school-of-nursing mentor (primary), a university-based non-nurse research mentor (research), and a nationally-recognized nurse leader at another university (national).METHOD:
The Mentorship Effectiveness Scale was used to assess the effectiveness of each type of mentor in the first five completed cohorts.DISCUSSION:
The ratings of mentorship effectiveness for all three kinds of mentors were generally high. Scholars valued most their mentors' support and advocacy; the biggest weakness in dealing with all mentors was accessibility.CONCLUSION:
Even when one mentor proved a poor match, another mentor turned out to be an advocate and helpful, thus reaffirming the benefits of a mentoring network as opposed to only a single mentoring relationship. One lesson learned is the importance of preparing mentors for their role via written materials, in-person or phone orientations, and discussions at the annual meeting.Palavras-chave
