Development of Mentoring at the University Graduate Study of Nursing, Osijek in the Last 10 Years

The first mentor education in nursing started in the year 1997 when 30 nurses from University Hospital Centre Osijek received training for mentors at their Hospital Departments. For the most part, the training comprised the education in process of nursing healthcare. In the following year one generation of students enrolled in a three-year study programme (Bachelor of Nursing). At that time it was a satellite Nursing Study in Osijek (seated in Zagreb). Education of nurses to become experts in the field of nursing healthcare started at the Faculty of Medicine in the academic year 2003/2004 when a three-year Professional Study of Nursing was launched. Only 9 mentors held Nursing Healthcare practices at Clinical Departments, with the total of 120 hours of tuition. With the development of the study programme the education of competent teaching staff at the Faculty of Medicine in Osijek continued. In the year 2010 the Professional Study of Nursing transformed into University Undergraduate and Graduate Study of Nursing. The proposed Study Programme contributed to progress and advancement in organisational structure of the Faculty of Medicine Osijek and remained at the same time the important prerequisite for maintaining as well as enhancing the quality of Nursing Study programme, especially in development of mentor competences. The aim of the University Graduated study of Nursing is to produce sufficient number of experts who will acquire competences for independent teaching in the field of Nursing Healthcare, competences to participate in research or to continue the training towards doctoral dissertation. Currently, there are 15 mentors for the subject Nursing Healthcare in the 1st year of Undergraduate Study of Nursing, ; 95% of them have either finished or are finishing the Graduate Study of Nursing.
