be mentored – beyond Oncology

Mentorship for New Nurse Speakers, Authors, Leaders, and Entrepreneurs

Mentorship Support

beyond Oncology’s mentorship programs can bridge the gap between needed nursing skills and gaining skills such as writing, publishing, speaking, or leading. All oncology nurses provide education and publications in some part of their role: to patients, professionals, communities, advocates, politicians, or boardroom executives. Yet, beyond college, very few nurses receive formal training or mentorship to prepare them for oral presentations, publications, or leadership roles. We offer both formal and informal mentorship programs as well as 1:1 coaching to meet your needs.

Nurse Speaker Mentorship: Our speaker mentorship program incorporates both interactive CE-approved workshops and various 1:1 mentorship opportunities. Our CPR Workshops use the CPR acronym in order to “breathe life into your presentation,” as each educational activity needs content (C), participation (P), and review (R). Overall, self-reported speaker anxiety decreased over time.

Mentors: You may be an experienced mentor or simply interested in becoming a mentor: It’s a fantastic opportunity to pay forward your own experience, learn more about yourself, challenge yourself, seek a fresh perspective, or foster someone else’s career. If you think the timing is right for you, contact us.

Mentees: Whether you are interested in writing a short article for Cancer Nursing Today (CNT), a formal paper, a poster abstract submission, or something else, mentorship may be the solution for you. Contact us.

Nurse Writing Mentorship:

beyond Oncology partners with Cancer Nursing Today (CNT), a leader in providing the latest nursing-specific oncology news. We pair mentees with mentors to create content for the Best Practice section to highlight current and emerging evidence for nurses in all settings to replicate within their practices to improve the lives of others.

Historically, nurses wrote in journals, books, or other print material. But now, nurses can write for blogs, social media, newsletters, and so on. It is much less overwhelming to start with a short article (600 words) before moving to a full-length paper for publication. Our mentors can help novice authors choose a topic, provide direction and editorial advice, and role model how to navigate the publication process. Our goal is to make writing easy instead of starting “too big” and quickly becoming discouraged with the writing process.
