When it comes to owning your career, learning from others through mentorship is critical. Nowhere is this more important than in healthcare, where keeping up with the latest trends, developments, technologies and clinical advancements is an ongoing 24/7 mindset.
The Benefits of Mentorship
As you strive to reach your full potential as a healthcare professional, a mentor may be just the ticket to help you grow, now and throughout your career. The right mentor can provide you with valuable guidance, support, and feedback to improve your clinical skills, find greater satisfaction in your work, reduce stress, adapt to industry changes, and – last but not least – provide the best patient care possible.
• Conclusions from a group of nurses who participated in one research study confirmed that mentorship helped in numerous ways, including building professional networks and boosting both career advancement and personal development.
• Additional research shows that those who have had mentors were able to achieve more, were better able to handle work-related stress, and were prepared to mentor others when the time came.

Career growth is all about empowerment. In addition to mentorships, empowerment stems from certifications, clinics, externships, and challenging partnerships, alliances, and assignments.
