E-Mentoring Program for Graduate and Undergraduate Nursing Students: Outline of Program Modules and Pre and Post Survey Templates

Many new graduate nurses face difficulties in their transition to professional practice. To help mitigate these difficulties, socialization through social supports and mentoring are critical to facilitate entry to practice (Robbio, 2018) and may be realized through opportunities for empathetic, authentic, and relational mentoring to address ongoing issues, such as isolation and a lack of social connectivity and mental wellbeing, faced by nursing students (Cengiz et al., 2021). Traditional in-person mentoring may encounter barriers, such as unsupportive work environments, lack of mentor access, heavy workloads and location and distance constraints. To address these limitations, an e-mentoring program for nursing students by nursing students was developed as a viable transitional strategy.
