Mentoring Latina Nurses: A Multicultural Perspective

Abstract The purpose of this article is to explore the meaning and significance of mentoring for Latinas/os in nursing. Based on qualitative, in-depth phenomenological interviews, the primary purpose of the study was to understand the experiences of Latina nursing students in order to identify conditions that affect their educational experiences. Seventeen Latina nursing students or recently graduated nurses in Massachusetts and Connecticut were interviewed. Implications for nursing schools and for other professional schools are discussed, including the development of partnerships with public schools and the creation of policies that support the recruitment and retention of both Latina/o nursing students and faculty.
