You Don't Have to Figure Out Nursing Alone
Grow as a nurse. Grow in faith. Walk with someone who gets it.
NCF Mentorship connects nurses across generations for encouragement, wisdom, prayer, and honest conversation about following Jesus in nursing.
Whether you're a newer nurse looking for guidance or an experienced nurse ready to invest in the next generation, there's a place for you.
NCF Student Ministry is the reason I made it through nursing school! The supportive community and faith focus made all the difference.
What is NCF Mentorship?
Mentorship is a Christ-centered relationship between nurses at different stages of their professional journeys.
Newer nurses receive guidance, encouragement, and spiritual formation as they navigate professional nursing. Experienced nurses have the opportunity to provide a listening ear, share wisdom, strengthen the NCF community, and invest in the next generation of faithful nurse leaders.
Together, mentors and mentees talk about the things that really matter:
-
Following Jesus in the realities of nursing
-
Patient care and difficult experiences
-
Workplace relationships and ethical questions
-
Spiritual formation and personal wellness
-
Career decisions, calling, and professional growth
How It Works
1. JOIN NCF
Mentors and mentees maintain NCF professional membership throughout the mentorship term.
2. APPLY
You can apply anytime. Mentees will be matched within a few weeks. Mentors will go through an interview and onboarding process before being added to our team of Mentors ready to be matched.
3. GET MATCHED
NCF connects you with a mentor or mentee. You have the opportunity to review and accept your match.
4. BUILD RELATIONSHIP
Mentorship lasts a minimum of 12 months, with at least quarterly meetings and monthly communication. Together, you'll create a personalized agreement for your relationship.
5. GROW TOGETHER
Throughout the year, you'll pray, talk honestly, reflect on your nursing journey, and pay attention to what God is doing.
6. LOOK AHEAD
At the end of the year, you'll reflect on your growth, affirm one another, and consider how to stay connected with NCF.
Who's It For?
NEWER NURSES
Bring your questions, challenges, hopes, and experiences. Your mentor can offer perspective, encouragement, prayer, and wisdom as you navigate nursing and life with Jesus.
EXPERIENCED NURSES
You don't have to have all the answers. Bring your experience, willingness to listen, and desire to invest in another nurse.
Mentors receive onboarding and ongoing training to help them enter the relationship well.
