Mentoring needs of dietitians: the mentoring self-management program model.

Twenty-one mentors and 24 mentees participated in a mentoring project in California. The results indicated that the mentoring needs among mentees were related to their career stage. Mentoring relationships were primarily serial rather than ongoing. Because of the present mercurial environment, individuals must plan much of their career development on their own. Recognition of the need for lifelong mentoring and knowledge of current findings can help dietitians move toward managing their own mentoring. We believe that the mentoring self-management program model provides the flexibility and close personal contact dietitians need to develop their fullest professional potential.

The physician as a nursing service customer.

One measure of a hospital's market success is bed occupancy. Since physicians admit patients to the hospital, they can rightfully be viewed as hospital customers. As customers, they respond to excellence in customer service. This article describes strategies for dealing with the physician as customer while still preserving the nurse-physician collegial relationship.

Basic requirements for initiating an interdisciplinary process.

The basic requirements for starting an interdisciplinary process are common value commitments, interpersonal communication skills, similarity between disciplines, and low level of perceived threat. We have drawn on our own experience in discussing the relationships between these requirements and suggest effective strategies for developing an interdisciplinary process. We conclude that the interdisciplinary process facilitates service and communication among all participants and that research is needed to determine optimum combinations of disciplines and group size.

The causes and costs of promotion trauma.

Minimizing the stress that nurses experience after a promotion requires an understanding of the dynamics of fledgling managers. Middle roles such as theirs are inherently difficult. We need to be aware of what can happen in moving up the ladder--factors such as loneliness, other unmet needs and unclear job descriptions evoke unique stresses. Knowing these factors, nursing administrators can plan their programs to better support their managers in transition.
