Résumé

In a health care environment characterized by transformative changes, nursing roles expand to address the complex factors that impact population health, nursing care, and care outcomes. The changes call for strategies by academic and service sectors that foster better learning connections between education and emerging practice trends. Alumni/professors emeriti mentorships offer one strategy for preparing the nursing workforce for new roles. In this collaborative essay between a mentor and a mentee, we hold that mentorship is a way to respond to transformative changes in nursing by reflecting on our own experiences of alumni-student mentorship. We encourage experienced and novice nurses to seek opportunities to mentor and be mentored and for the relevant institutions to collaboratively support the strategy.
