Mission Statement:

Our mission is to ensure that every nurse, regardless of role or specialty, can both receive and become a mentor, fostering a culture of growth, support, and positive influence that advances the nursing profession.

🟡What is the Society all about?

  • Mentorship in nursing has long been expected, yet rarely structured.

    The National Society of Nurse Mentors was created to change that.

    This is a space where nurses across all roles, clinical, educational, leadership, entrepreneurial and many more. In this society, we can come together to both receive and provide mentorship in a meaningful, supported way.

    • Nurses who want to grow and be supported

    • Nurses ready to mentor and guide others

    • Nurse educators, preceptors, and leaders

    • Nurses exploring new roles or career paths

    • Nurse entrepreneurs and innovators

    • Nurses committed to positively influencing the profession across all roles and settings

Our Approach:

The E3 Mentorship Model

Our mentorship framework is designed to support real-world growth through the integration of the affective domain, recognizing that mentorship extends beyond knowledge to include values, attitudes, and professional identity.

This is a structured system that develops mentors while facilitating meaningful mentorship in practice.

We do not assign mentorship. We prepare nurses to become effective mentors and create the environment where mentorship can develop in a way that is sustainable and impactful.

This is where nurses learn how to support one another in a way that endures.
