Mentorship Monday: How to be a great mentor.

Happy Mentorship Monday. Let's talk about the other side of the relationship, being the mentor. If you're a nurse with even a few years of experience, someone is watching whether you know it or not, you're already influencing the next generation of nurses.
The question is: Are you doing it intentionally?

Being a great mentor isn't about having all the answers. It's about:

- Creating space for questions without judgement

- Sharing what you wish someone had told you, including the hard stuff

- Giving honest, specific feedback (not just "you're doing great")

- Advocating for your mentee in rooms they haven't entered yet

- Knowing when to push them and when to simply listen.

Great mentors don't produce nurses who think exactly like them.
They produce nurses who think for themselves, with better tools. If you had a mentor who changed your trajectory, take a second today to tell them. And if you haven't stepped into that role yet, it might be time.
Are you currently mentoring someone? What's the most important lesson you've passed on?

Celebrating an incredible CNA during CNA Week!
Today, I want to shine a spotlight on Patricia Barrett, an incredible CNA and my mother. For 30 years, she has dedicated her life to providing compassionate care in the underserved communities of Greater Harlem, New York.

She is the inspiration behind the creation of the Patricia Barrett Scholarship for CNAs. Her unwavering commitment to her patients has not only changed lives but has also inspired countless others.

Every day, she shows up with dedication, offering hope, comfort, and strength to those who need it most. Her resilience, compassion, and the love she pours into her work truly make a difference! đź’–đź‘Ź

“Receiving the Kimberley Ennis Scholarship meant so much to me during nursing school. As someone who was born in California, raised in Ghana, and returned to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse, the scholarship was a reminder that my community believed in me. It helped relieve some of the financial stress of graduate school and allowed me to focus on my education, clinical training, and serving others. Today, as I prepare to begin my career as a registered nurse, I am incredibly grateful for the Kimberley Ennis Foundation’s investment in my future and the future patients I will care for.”

Congratulations Kauthar! We can’t wait to see the amazing things you will accomplish in your career.

5 nursing specialities you might not know about

Everyone knows about the ICU, ER, and L&D. But there are so many more specialties in nursing than people realize. If you’re in school trying to figure out your path or you’re a nurse ready for something new, here are 5 specialties worth looking into:

1. Genetics & Genomics Nursing - Working with patients on hereditary conditions and personalized medicine. Cutting-edge doesn’t cover it.

2. Holistic Nursing - a specialized, patient-centered approach that treats the whole person: mind, body, spirit, and emotions.

3. Flight Nursing - emergency medical treatment during air transport, usually via helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft

4. Informatics Nursing - Where healthcare meets data. These nurses shape the systems every nurse uses daily.

5. Legal Nurse Consulting - Applying clinical expertise in legal cases.

Nursing isn’t one path. It’s dozens. Which of these surprised you most?
