What is the Mentored Leadership Development Program?
The Mentored Leadership Development Program offers all nurses, whether they are honor society members or not, an invaluable resource for mentoring and individualized leadership development. The program gives individuals the opportunity to participate: as a mentee or as a mentor. Mentees should wish to develop leadership skills and can be at any stage of their career. They are paired with nurses who are experienced professionals and can assist mentees during the one-year program to achieve their professional goals centered on leadership, scholarship and evidence-based nursing. Projects can be in a variety of areas including practice, scholarship and health policy.
Mentees
Nurses at any stage of their career can be selected as mentees for the Mentored Leadership Development Program. During the one-year program, each mentee is guided by an accomplished mentor. The pairs participate in group activities and with guidance from the mentor, the mentee carries out an individualized leadership development plan. Applicants can use their new skills in professional or community organizations, such as the honor society, or for personal development in a current role.
Mentors
Mentors are a prestigious cadre of self-identified and/or invited leaders, who are willing to guide the development of mentees. A mentor must apply with a mentee. No individual mentor applications will be considered.
