Thanks, that's good advice. ? ill try those suggestions and see if it helps her!

Hi everyone, I am an RN with over 10 years of experience, the last 5 years being in community nursing. I have been asked by my manager to be a mentor for new or struggling nurses. I am currently mentoring a licensed nurse who's been on our team for a year. I think she's been a nurse for 3 years now. However, in that year, she has been making serious mistakes. She has been with me for 2 weeks now and still needs 1:1 support for every nursing skill such as wound care, CVAD care/maintenance, urinary catheterization, surgical drains, documentation, care planning, and nursing assessments. I am very concerned about the safety of our client's when she is finished her buddy shifts with me. How do I bring this up to my manager? How do I give constructive feedback without lowering this nurse's confidence even more? I've never encountered this before in my 10 years of nursing practice. thanks in advance.
