Description
Summary:In the post-pandemic healthcare context, the destabilization of the nursing workforce prompted organizations to recognize the need for additional support in clinical settings to facilitate successful nurse integration and retention. To better understand how mentorship can be optimally structured and operationalized to support transition to practise, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, The Ottawa Hospital and Unity Health Toronto collaborated to explore multi-site experiences with a provincial mentorship program. This case study will describe and compare three organizations' implementation and evaluation of the government-funded Clinical Scholar Program, while highlighting considerations for nurse leaders and program recommendations.
