Abstract

As part of an ongoing commitment to professional development, this American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet-designated pediatric academic medical center provided a 1.5-hour self-paced vendor mentor training e-course to nurse mentors. A pretest-posttest design demonstrated that mentor training significantly improved mentor knowledge, skills, confidence, beliefs, and overall score, but not values. The results support that nurses benefit from mentor training, and a self-paced asynchronous e-course is a cost-effective educational strategy to increase the adoption of mentoring behaviors.
