This quality improvement project evaluated a 6-month mentorship program's influence on job satisfaction, burnout, engagement, intent to stay, and turnover/retention for experienced (12 mentors) and newly hired (13 mentees) nurses within 3 health system hospital units. Results showed limited statistical significance for improving job satisfaction, burnout, and engagement. Qualitative participants' feedback indicated the program enhanced their goals, comfort level, and socialization through peer support. No unit participants left, compared with an 18.6% nonparticipant turnover rate.
