A mentor is a trusted friend, usually with more career experience who provides a listening ear,
career advice and guidance, feedback and example.
The purpose of this study was to develop a survey tool to benchmark school of nursing
(SON) faculty mentorship priorities and conduct a gap analysis of how well they were being
addressed.
The respondents were asked to rank how important on a scale from 0 (no need) to 5 (the most
important need) each of the following was to reaching promotion and having a successful
career: an advisor, a coach, a sponsor, and a mentor.
Among all faculty, the top five priorities were guidance on producing timely publications
(70.4%), mentorship on work-life balance (68%), mentorship on putting together a
promotion package (61.5%), guidance on test writing (60%), and utilizing technology in the
classroom (60%).
