Major Activities

Activity 2

Nurse mentor/preceptor program: this program provides nurse mentor and nurse preceptor services designed to support inexperienced rns and experienced rns returning to bedside nursing after a hiatus in acute care work, or when transferred to a new hospital unit. Specifically, the program is designed to increase retention, including the retention of a culturally diverse nursing staff, by pairing newly hired or returning nurses with trained and experienced nurse mentors who reflect the cultural, linguistic and gender backgrounds of the nurses they support. The mentors and preceptors provide one-on-one professional and personal support to improve patient care and abate the shortage of registered nurses by improving retention in the nursing profession. Cnf will continue to look at opportunities to negotiate contracts for implementation of the mentor/preceptor and educate the educator programs in other organizations.

Activity 3
