Need a mentor for my practicum

Published

Specializes in ortho/neuro/LTC.

I am starting my first MSN practicum and I need a mentor to assist me over a 8 month period. I only need 60 hours during this time and I have just found out it doesn't have to be in a clinical situation. Sounds like it can be done by phone and computer. Would anyone be so kind with an MSN to help me?

Thank you mrsilly for responding. The listed responsibilities for a mentor are:

In case a perspective NUR/590 mentor asks, the mentor's responsibilities for NUR/590 are as follows:

1) Review and discuss learning objectives with the student.

2) Discuss with the student how the experience will be valuable to the student.

3) Assist with the planning and coordination of activities related to the agreed-upon learning objectives.

4) Support and encourage student accountability in achieving the learning objectives.

5) Strategize with the student regarding the availability of appropriate resources to help in the achievement of learning objectives.

6) Provide ongoing evaluation and feedback to the mentee related to the achievement of the learning objectives.

My project is going to be an education session for staff in a LTC facility regarding Dementia/Alzheimer's disease. I am working on every specific thing I will do for this project. I can provide a rough draft of those if you are considering this. I am desparate at this point because my "for sure" contact is not getting back with me and I have 1 week to find one!

I'm going out shortly for the rest of the day. Can the mentor be through email?

Yes. We can communicate anyway that is good for you and email is just fine, we actually need to do it that way so I can attach the documents that I am actually doing. I can email my "learning agreement" that has every step I will be doing so you will be up to date with where I am at.

Hello, I just started my RN to BSN nursing courses which I am taking online and much to my dismay I find out that I have one class that requires a one time assistance of an RN, MSN and I cannot find an RN with a MSN in my area to assist so I am looking everywhere. I have to do a physical assessment on a friend of my choosing and an MSN has to sign off that she has observed me do these things correctly. I noticed your post and thought I would ask for assistance. I could either explain to you strep by step how I would do each process or you could watch me via a web cam. I had no idea when I started this I was going to need a preceptor for anything as I was told it was 100% online.....Now I have invested all of this time and money and need this.... Please let me know if you can help
