The nurse who is consulted by other nurses would be the best choice if this nurse is willing to act as a mentor to the student.Although the nurse may be friendly,the student would do better to find someone knowledgeable who can be trusted to guide the student; this may or may not be the friendly nurse.While the new graduate may be empathetic,he is still finding his own way and would not be the best choice.Being outspoken,by itself,is not the best characteristic to look for in a mentor.
