Common use of Mentorship Clause in Contracts

Mentorship. Nurses may, from time to time, be assigned a formal mentorship role for a designated nurse. Mentorship is a formal supportive relationship between two (2) nurses, which results in the professional growth and development of an individual practitioner to maximize her or his clinical practice. The relationship is time limited and focused on goal achievement. Orientation to the organization or general functioning of the area does not constitute mentorship. After consultation with the nurse being mentored and the mentor, the Employer will identify the experiences required to meet her or his learning needs, will determine the duration of the mentorship assignment and expectations of the mentor, and appropriate training. During the consultation process, the Employer will review the mentor’s workload with the mentor and the nurse being mentored to facilitate successful completion of the mentoring assignment. The Employer will provide, on a regular basis, all nurses with an opportunity to indicate their interest in assuming a mentorship role, through a mechanism determined by the parties. The Employer selects and assigns the mentor for a given mentoring relationship. At the request of any nurse, the Employer will discuss with any unsuccessful applicant ways in which she or he may be successful for future opportunities.
