Mentoring eases new Nurses' reality shock, study finds
NCT ID NCT07253779
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a mentoring program helps new graduate nurses handle the shock of starting work, adapt to the clinic, and build professional skills. Fifty-six new nurses were split into two groups: one got a month-long mentoring program, the other got standard training. Researchers measured their adjustment and skills before, after, and three months later. The goal was to see if mentoring makes the transition smoother.
