The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) project is a national and international education initiative to improve palliative care. Since 2000, ELNEC is a collaboration between City of Hope, Duarte, CA and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), Washington, DC. The project, administered by City of Hope, provides undergraduate and graduate nursing faculty, CE providers, staff development educators, specialty nurses in pediatrics, oncology, critical care and geriatrics, and other nurses with training in palliative care so they can teach this essential information to nursing students, practicing nurses and other healthcare professionals.

Abstract
Transition from student to clinical practice as a new registered nurse can be overwhelming. The coronavirus pandemic has compounded the usual stressors and puts new graduates at high risk for stress, compassion fatigue and burnout. Nurse colleagues can mentor and support these new graduates through this transition. This document guides nurses mentoring new graduates during the pandemic, focusing on helping them with communication skills, encouraging proactive wellness and mindfulness strategies and supporting them through the challenging stressors they are facing.
