learning resources for would be mentor

[ayla2004, ASN, RN]

lo

I'm in the process of getting on a mentor-ship module. in the mean time we have students on our ward. i have always genlty enjoyed sharing my knowledge skills with pt co-worker, and students even when i was still a student.

my own learning style is to read up watch and get stuck in, however each skill i approached was when i kinda felt right.

my best mentor for me gently encouraged got me to do new skills while i felt supported and not abandoned i figure that is the best way but query is it.

can a mentor be overly influenced by their learning style.

What making me think is a final placement student asked to stay with me for a 2nd shift even though I had her do meds notes and handover her pts( i did discuss what information handover would need and what was important to add to notes)

maybe i should ask students.

how to balance protecting the pt by supervising a student yet give someone space to learn

kinda reflecting i guess, i may not have a student for a shift for a while.
