The International Transplant Nurses Society is pleased to announce the continuation of the Transplant Nurse Mentoring/Preceptorship Program (TNMP) in 2005. The TNMP is made possible through a grant provided by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In this unique program, novice transplant nurses (less than 3 years experience) working as bedside nurses, clinicians, transplant coordinators, educators, or as advanced practice nurses will be paired with an experienced mentor in the same area of transplant nursing. This mentoring experience will include discussions of their common roles, experiences, and developing expertise through the development of professional networking. This exciting program occurs in conjunction with the ITNS Annual Symposium that will take place in Orlando, Florida USA, September 22-24. A detailed copy of the symposium brochure will be available in late May. The symposium will include 4 workshops focusing on different roles of the transplant nurse from novice to advanced practitioner, as well as keynote speakers, podium presentations, and poster presentations. ITNS would like to extend this opportunity to 12 novice nurses and 6 experienced preceptors/mentors for the 2005 TNMP held during the ITNS symposium.
Mentor candidates as well as novice transplant nurse candidates are encouraged to apply.
Deadline is July 1, 2005.
