From Bedside to Educator: Why Mentors Matter in Career Transitions
Daybook January 31
Career transitions in nursing succeed when educators connect with mentors and resources. Observing both success and failure supports identity reconstruction and sustained fulfillment.
Leaving the bedside can feel like leaving meaning behind.
Many new educators fear losing connection, credibility, and fulfillment.
But fulfillment does not disappear—it changes form.
Mentors and resources anchor transitions.
They normalize uncertainty, model possibilities, and show that impact can grow beyond direct care.
Watching others—especially how they recover from failure—teaches what no manual can.
