ED nurse mentor

[jgriffRN]

Hello everyone,

I recently accepted a position as the Emergency Center Clinical Educator. My RN background has been Surgery, CCU/ICU, and ED. This is an entirely new position for my institution. Currently at this time I am working closely with my Director trying to revamp the orientation process for new RN's coming into the ED. Up to this point the orientation process has been very hap-hazard.

I was wondering is there anyone out there who has who has any experience with nurse mentoring in the ED? I have an orientation process in the works but once the new RN has completed their orientation I would like to pair them with a mentor. Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?
