The BSN curriculum provided avenues to keep me up to date with safe practices and learn how to master therapeutic communication.

They need to displaying a calm and supportive demeanor under stress, maintenance of mutual respect, and authentic understanding of the unique role (Robinson, Gorman, Slimmer, Yudkowsky, 2010).

The evaluation is the final part of my three mandatory written pieces of my graded unit. The final evaluation stage of the graded unit requires me to reflect on how the activity went, whilst highlighting my strengths, areas that require future development and identify my weaknesses, this, in turn, will enable me to adapt my practice to ensure I am continuously supporting patients to the standards set within The Nursing Midwifery Council (NMC). Looking back on the activity, I am proud of myself for being able to plan and follow the activity through to complication. When completing the book with Mr X I found it to be an enjoyable activity that not only offered benefits to Mr X but also to myself, it allowed me to understand the importance of building a therapeutic relationship with a patient. Building a successful therapeutic relationship required me to have good communication and interpersonal skills, (Radcliffe and Ford, 2015), that allowed me to build a relationship with Mr X based on mutual trust and respect.

A mentor in nursing is defined as someone who can facilitate learning, supervise and asses nursing students in a practice setting. This in turn produces efficient and effective students who become competent and will have mastered the craft and art of caring. Mentorship is significant to students as it helps students develop their professional identities, attributes and competence and also enables students to learn through the creation of the supportive working and learning environment as an individual (Clutterbuck 2004). Decisions taken by mentors in assessing students have significant impacts on securing the nursing workforce in the future.

Introduction “Mentoring is an important role that every nurse has to assume, formally or informally, sooner or later in their professional life”. (Ali,Pa &Parther,W, 2008) While considering mentorship as a way of progression in the profession, it is important for the nurse to think critically and objectively about what the role entails. Nurses who are considering becoming involved in student supervision and mentorship in any clinical setting should have knowledge of the importance of mentorship, its process and basic principles. Which brings me to the purpose of this assignment.
