Title: | Mentoring: Some cautionary notes for the nursing profession | Contributor(s): | Green, Janet (author); Jackson, Debra (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | DOI: | 10.1080/10376178.2014.11081909 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/17133 | Abstract: | Mentoring has been embraced in nursing as a way of socialising new nurses into the profession, growing and developing nursing talent, and more recently as a way to retain experienced nurses with the current nursing shortage. Much of the extant literature focusses on the benefits of mentoring, differences between formal and informal mentoring, the elements of a successful mentoring relationship, and the characteristics of 'good' mentors and protégées. Until recently the research on mentoring has almost exclusively focussed on the positive aspects of mentoring for the protégées, organisations and to a lesser extent, mentors. While viewed by many as a beneficial and enriching developmental experience, it is equally important to recognise that there can be a darker side to the mentoring experience for the mentor and protégée. This paper will explore the negative aspects associated with mentoring and mentoring relationships and provide some cautionary notes for nursing. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Contemporary Nurse, 47(1-2), p. 79-87 | Publisher: | eContent Management Pty Ltd | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1839-3535 1037-6178 |
