The role of the mentee needs to be understood early in the mentoring relationship. What is a characteristic or example of the mentee's role?
a. Not interrupting the mentor
b. Absorbing what the mentor explains in detail
c. Establishing personal short- and long-term goals
d. Finding out what the mentor has to offer in terms of experience
C
Establishing your goals early will help you get exactly what you need from the mentoring rela-tionship. The mentee should ask questions when clarification is needed because communication is very important. The mentor's nursing experience is not considered part of the mentee's role. Absorbing information may relate more to a preceptor providing information on content or skills. Finding out the experience is probably more applicable to the preceptor relationship.
