“…Model C clinical nurse leader graduates, developed as advanced generalist newly licensed RNs, have a unique nursing education as second‐degree master's students, which prepares them to address the fragmentation of patient care (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, ). Despite their extensive education, model C clinical nurse leader graduates still undergo the same transitional process from student to independent clinician as other newly licensed RNs (Klich‐Heartt, ). It is not known whether professional socialization for the model C clinical nurse leader graduate is comparable to that of the typical newly licensed RN; the effect of mentoring on developing professional nursing values is also unknown for the model C clinical nurse leader graduate.…”

“…These nurses are educationally prepared to address the fragmentation of health care at the microsystems level. Due to this unique education focus, seasoned nurses may be confused about the role and scope of the model C clinical nurse leader due to a perceived mismatch between degree level and novice nurse identity (Klich‐Heartt, ). This confusion may cause seasoned nurses to hold unrealistic expectations regarding the clinical expertise of the novice model C clinical nurse leader, which could hinder their socialization into the nursing profession.…”

Aim This study qualitatively explored the impact mentoring relationships had on the professional socialization of novice clinical nurse leader. Background Professional socialization entails acquisition of the skills, knowledge and values associated with nursing. Model C clinical nurse leaders have completed a bachelor's degree before graduate‐level nursing programme acceptance. Thereby, the mentoring needs of model C clinical nurse leaders may differ from that of traditionally educated novice nurses. Method Focus groups were conducted with seven novice model C clinical nurse leaders during their first year of employment. Qualitative data were analysed via a grounded theory approach. Results The participants described an intense focus on patient care and how multiple mentoring relationships motivated them to become competent bedside clinicians. They described how the mentors’ actions enabled them to deal with negative feelings, which increased their confidence, comfort and competence with clinical skills. Conclusions Clinical skills improved when a novice model C clinical nurse leader worked with multiple mentors. The qualitative data did not show that the model C clinical nurse leaders needed different mentoring relationships than traditionally educated nurses. Implication for Nursing Management The results suggest multiple mentors should be used to develop the clinical competences of novice model C clinical nurse leaders.
