Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mentor not only serves as a role model or counselor for the new graduate but also actively advises,guides,and promotes the graduate's career.It is important to select someone who will work with you and has nursing experience.Frequently,nurses with 3 to 5 years of experience remember their own role transition and can relate to what the new graduate is experiencing.The clinician is curt and sarcastic,which would not be supportive behavior for a mentor.The new graduate would not be the best choice.The seasoned nurse is aloof and self-centered and would not be a good candidate for a mentor because mentors are willingly and personally invested in their mentee.
