    This document discusses a study on the importance of mentoring relationships during professional role transitions for nurses. The study found that nurses who transition to new roles or are new graduates lack confidence and practical knowledge, so mentoring from experienced nurses is important. However, the study was limited in that it only looked at clinical nurses and not other nursing professionals. Incorporating mentoring across all healthcare roles could provide more insights. Journal clubs and implementing evidence-based practice are discussed as ways to help new nurses gain knowledge and support from more experienced nurses.

    The article involves generating a reasonable basis in the medical practice of nurse-to -

    nurse professional development. The article emphasize on the importance of mentoring

    relationships during professional role transitions. The study clearly states reasons why nurses

    who transition to new roles and graduates require nurse-to – nurse mentoring. It’s clear that

    most people who undertake new professional’s roles mainly lack confidence and therefore

    mentoring by those with the knowledge is a primary concern as they lonely possess literature

    acknowledgement of professional competencies but lack practical knowledge ("Mentoring up: A

    grounded theory of nurse-to-nurse mentoring," n.d.)

    The article was limited on nurse-to-nurse mentoring experiences of nurses working in

    the clinical setting instead of other nursing professionals such as nurse educators, , managers or

    advanced nursing practitioners as well as other health system practitioner’s. This may hinder

    healthcare organizations and practitioners to incorporate mentoring concept as a framework for

    developing and initiating mentoring relationships. If the study could incorporate all functions of

    the health care systems, all stakeholders in a health care system would gain insight into the

    processes of mentoring and desire to mentor other people as responsibility of professional and

    way of giving back to the profession. Besides, the information on the article would play part to a

    wider scope of the health care systems by making decisions on various disciplines with new

    insight and knowledge and theoretical proportions that could ensure understanding of the concept

    of mentoring.

    Yes, I would tend to associate with those who nursing experience in my area of

    specialization to get inspired, gain skills to handle issues and understand the concepts of my

    study. The above would also help me guide the one who will be new undertaking the same

    course as I.

    Journal clubs refers to an open forum where nurses discuss issues arising from the

    practice in a friendly manner. The platform allows new nurses to engage with experienced nurses

    and discuss on issues to do with patient care. Proof to nurses instead of nurses searching for new

    information by themselves. A journal club facilitator is responsible with organizing activities and

    meetings , regulating the proceedings of the activity, searching for topic of discussion as well as

    trains other club members using the results of the clubs. Additionally, the facilitator ensures that

    members of the club know their roles and are okay with the objective of the project. The journal

    club facilitator functions as liaisons linking team and its external stakeholders and sometimes

    between the club members.

    EBP refer to a procedure of gathering, processing and evacuation findings of a

    research to enhance clinical practice, working environment or result of a patient. Implementing

    EBP concept in a clinical setting allow one to provide the substantial quality and best care to the

    patient that is cost effective. Nurses have obligations to their profession and patients to develop

    and evaluate actions that enhance evidence based practice. However, nurses experience

    challenges to implementing the practice such as inadequate knowledge, support, time and power

    to change the practice. The barriers can be overcome through incorporating search outcomes in

    practice in a journal club. In a hospital setting nurses should gain support of their seniors through

    stipulating the benefits, goals, scope and timeframe for the activity. This would allow them to

    have scheduled meeting that allow them discuss and gain knowledge to help them in their

    practice.
