The Mentoring Project
About The Mentoring Project
Michigan Center for Nursing and ACEMAPP collaborated with nursing professionals to create an innovative way for nursing students and professionals to engage in mentoring online. This project was made possible through support from the Center to Champion Nursing in America, a joint initiative of AARP Foundation, AARP, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Become a Mentor or Mentee
This project is now retired. When it ran, individuals could become Mentors or Mentees if their organization participated in the mentoring project in partnership with ACEMAPP. The intent of this project was to help nurses overcome barriers to long-term employment in health care. Each module was part of a curriculum developed by professional educators and was developed specifically for healthcare providers. Once they identified their own needs, they could choose whichever modules best suited them. The courses were self-paced.
The main areas of focus throughout this project were:
-
Professional resiliency
-
Communication
-
Conflicts in the workplace
-
Leadership skills
-
Time management
-
Professional goals
The project was designed to be led by the mentee based on the mentee’s identified needs. That said, the mentor got leadership skills and self-knowledge out of the experience as well.
