Abstract Purposes/Aims: This project aims to develop a mentor-training program for nurses who have; completed a clinical nurse ladder (CNL). Nurses who complete the CNL may attend mentor; training to facilitate other nurses' participation in the CNL.; Rationale/Background: CNLs are linked to increased retention, better patient outcomes,; increased evidence-based practice (EBP), and less nurse burnout. One Magnet-designated; hospital in Intermountain Health wanted to increase nurse participation in EBP. A CNL is an; evidence-based solution for increasing EBP.; Methods: A PowerPoint training module and surveys were developed to facilitate the training of; mentors. The training also introduces specific resources for the hospital's CNL to increase the; mentor's comfort level when assisting nurses participating in the CNL.; Results: Three major themes arose in the literature about nursing mentors. Mentors 1) facilitate; EBP implementation, 2) increase engagement and participation in professional development; opportunities such as certification, and 3) training and developing mentors is crucial.; Conclusions: Implementing a mentor training program can allow nurses to gain valuable; knowledge and skills and increase their confidence as they mentor staff. A mentor training; program can have multiple benefits, including increased CNL participation, engagement, EBP,; retention, and lower burnout among nurses.
