Mentoring is a recognized means of enlisting and retaining employees in a profession. Expert nursing clinicians often begin in an educator’s role as adjunct faculty, at remote clinical settings that could deprive them of information critical for a successful start. Their job satisfaction may be threatened by unclear expectations of administrators. Novice nursing faculty can benefit from being part of a well-thought-out mentoring program. This review of the literature on mentoring of clinical adjunct faculty reveals that there is a minimal amount of information on their specific needs. The literature available identifies the benefits and vital components of a mentoring program. Use of these strategic methods to initiate a mentoring program could facilitate new initiatives for clinical adjunct nursing faculty success.
