Abstract Details

2023, Doctor of Nursing Practice, Mount St. Joseph University, Department of Nursing.
There is an acute care nurse staffing crisis in the United States and healthcare organizations are struggling to ensure adequate staffing to optimize patient outcomes. Many factors are contributing to this crisis. Older, experienced nurses are retiring, taking with them their knowledge and expertise. Lucrative travel contracts are enticing many nurses to vacate their acute care inpatient positions. Finally, new graduate nurse (NGN) turnover is high. Role dissatisfaction is commonly cited as the reason NGNs vacate their positions. Mentoring can be a powerful tool to mitigate NGNs intent to leave. The purpose of this DNP project was to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative informal mentoring model, Mentoring in the Moment, on NGN role satisfaction. The NGN Mentoring in the Moment program utilized one-on-one mentoring moments. Short mentoring sessions took place during the mentees’ regularly scheduled work hours, once a week for five weeks. Role satisfaction data were collected before and after the intervention using the Casey Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey. Mentees reported being satisfied with the support provided by the mentor. Additionally, the Mentoring in the Moment intervention led to increases in new graduate nurses’ role satisfaction. Supporting NGNs in real time can improve their role satisfaction.
