This systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate mentoring programs for specialized nurses (SNs) or nurse navigators (NNs) and advanced practice nurses (APNs). Twelve articles focused on APNs were included, describing various forms of mentorship. Positive outcomes were reported for job retention, satisfaction, skills improvement, satisfaction with the program, and confidence improvement. However, there is a lack of consistency in the elements of mentoring programs. The authors recommend further research to develop systematic and theoretically underpinned mentoring programs for both APNs and SNs/NNs, using a mixed methods design for evaluation. The review provides useful insights for organizations developing and implementing mentoring programs for SNs/NNs and APNs.
