Courtney has been a nurse manager for 3 years and has shown strong leadership skills and innovation, making her a great mentor for Kira. Saul may have a lot of clinical experience, but transitioning to a new role and being near retirement may not make him the best fit for mentoring someone new to the role. Leilani may have aspirations to become a nurse manager herself, but she may not have the practical experience yet to mentor someone in that role. Adrian also may not be the best choice as he left the nurse manager role early on and has been in a different role for a long time.
