The Evolution of a Writing Program.

Background: Scholarly writing is required in nursing, and some students are unable to communicate effectively through writing. Faculty members may struggle with the grading of written assignments. A writing team, consisting of a nursing faculty member, the school of nursing library liaison, and members from academic support services, implemented strategies including workshops, handouts, and use of exemplars to improve student writing and to provide support to faculty.

Appreciating mentorship: the benefits of being a mentor.

Purpose: the purpose of this integrative review was to explore mentor-mentee relationships and benefits from the perspective of the mentor rather than that of the mentee.

Primary Practice Setting(s): all nursing and case management settings.

Methods: : Research studies related to the concept of mentoring were selected after a search of the CINAHL and the OVID databases for the years 1979 to 2009.
