Mentorship within CCCN
Caring is the essence of nursing and as such mentorship is a natural progression for many nurses. This mentorship program has been developed to ignite passion in Cardiovascular nursing and enhance membership in our council.
Mentoring defined:
Mentoring is a professional relationship in which an experienced person (the mentor) assists another (the mentee) in developing specific skills and knowledge, and personal attributes (i.e., confidence, courage, self-awareness) that will enhance the less-experienced person’s professional and personal growth. The focus is usually on broad personal and career development.
