Effective mentoring and supervision
Success in mentoring and supervision depends on enthusiasm , adequate preparation , time , and organisational support . Attributes of an effective mentor include : Communication skills and active listening Preparation for the role : NMC practice assessor or practice supervisor Desire to undertake the role Reflection on skills and evaluation of feedback from students and mentees Effective coaching skills Kindness , genuineness and positivity Effective teamworking Compassionate leadership Professional knowledge and experience Sufficient time Non-judgmental , supportive approach Liaison and support from universities , organisations and employers
While we use ‘ mentor ’ as an umbrella term , the NMC 2018 Standards for Registered Nurses and Standards for Student Supervision and Assessment , 7 encourage us to leave the name behind , saying there has been ‘ disillusionment ’ with the defi nition and didactic ( teaching , showing , doing ) nature of the historic role that does not align with the modern needs of nursing and nurse education . A ‘ failure to fail ’ culture – whereby a mentor might feel reluctant to fail a mentee due to a long-term relationship or even friendship that has grown between them – has now been replaced by a more robust , objective , shorter-term role and evidence-based assessment strategy .
