You've been selected as a mentor for a nurse new to TB. As a mentor, you can guide a nurse in their TB learning process, answer questions, and support the learning they need. 

Use the Roadmap Training Plan and Roadmap Directory to guide a nurse new to TB. Nurses may benefit from a facilitated discussion of the materials. Ideally, you or a supervisor can discuss key materials with the nurse and assess their learning. You can also:

• Make the nurse feel comfortable while they are learning about TB
• Answer any questions they may have
• Arrange for the nurse to observe someone who can model specific TB-related actions
• Make sure the nurse takes the tests and does the exercises in self-study materials
• Discuss any areas the nurse may have trouble with
• Connect the nurse with the network of other experienced TB Public Health Nurses in your area

Key materials of the Roadmap are the following:

• Self–Study Modules on Tuberculosis 1-9 (CDC)
  • You can use the Slide Sets and Facilitator Guide to provide training for nurses
  • Continuing education credits are available
