Abstract:
Mentoring and succession planning in nursing are important elements to ensure continuity, retention, staff engagement, and improved patient care and outcomes. Both mentoring and succession planning are central tenets of the American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC's) Magnet Recognition Program®, with organizations required to provide evidence of formal programs. This month's Magnet® Perspectives explores the impact of student practicums as a conduit for mentoring and succession planning and takes a close look at ANCC's unique student practicum to build nursing competencies and develop future nurse leaders. The column details how ANCC tailored and expanded the program to meet high demand during the COVID pandemic and how students have rated the experience.
