This article describes the implementation of an evidence-based mentoring program for new registered nurses (RNs) hired into medical-surgical units in a small community-based hospital during the unfolding of the SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The hospital's nursing leadership supported the program implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide a broader support system to new RNs to improve nurse retention. During a response to the pandemic, the medical-surgical units faced numerous process changes in a short time, which further reinforced the urgency of an additional support system for the newly hired RNs.
