In episode 186 of RNFM Radio, the nurse podcasting trifecta of Kevin Ross, Keith Carlson, and Elizabeth Scala are joined by Dr. Louise Jakubik of The Nurse Mentoring Institute. Mentoring can be a practice, a value, and part of an organization’s culture, and Dr. Jakubik is the national expert in evidence-based nursing and mentoring research.

The Nurse Mentoring Institute (NMI) was created by mentoring expert, Dr. Louise Jakubik, PhD, RN-BC, CSP to prepare, support, and develop nurses and nursing organizations in practice, education and management roles through the art, science and wonder of mentoring. Their goal is to change the world by creating a mentoring culture, where individuals and organizations build and develop one another for success. NMI provides mentoring-related education and training, consultation, scientific innovation, and interpersonal inspiration. They also advance the evidence-based practice of mentoring in nursing through:

• Incorporating the most up to date evidence into their mentoring programming
• Actively conducting mentoring research and disseminating the outcomes
• Advancing intellectual curiosity and scientific inquiry around mentoring
• Encouraging leaders in healthcare to adopt a paradigm shift towards evidence-based mentoring

The Nurse Mentoring Institute’s 4th Annual conference will be held in Cherry Hill, NJ on November 3rd and 4th, 2016; if you attend, you’ll be able to learn evidence-based mentoring practices, meet Louise Jakubik and other mentoring superstars, and hear speakers including RNFM Radio’s dear friend, Dr. Renee Thompson, as well as Keith “Nurse Keith” Carlson, who will be speaking on the savvy uses of social media and face-to-face networking skills.

Meanwhile, the call for abstracts for the 2016 conference will open on February 1st, 2016. Visit NMI’s website for information about the submission process.

Please note that The Journal of Pediatric Nursing is launching a series of articles over the course of 2016, all of which will be authored by Dr. Jakubik and her colleagues; this series will include all of NMI’s evidence-based practices for the edification of readers interested in mentoring in nursing.
