title: Mentoring in emergency care: 'growing our own'.
abstract: Historical attitudes to graduates in emergency departments (EDs) and the effect of nursing staff shortages conspire to make EDs demanding areas in which to begin a nursing career. New graduates can become competent and efficient nurses more easily, however, if they are guided by mentors. This article examines mentoring from a formal and informal perspective, and includes the author's personal reflection on her experiences of being mentored in an ED in Canada.
