1. A mentor is a person who has more experience and is willing to help the protégé progress in their career. A mentor should be a senior nurse or someone in a closely aligned profession who can help the protégé with contacts and networking. The most logical selection of these options is the senior nurse who has the career experience the protégé seeks.
2. The president of the organization may not have the career experiences the nurse is interested in pursuing.
3. The senior nurse with a wide range of career experiences would be good as a general mentor but is not the best choice in this situation.
4. A member of the board of the organization may or may not have the kind of career experiences this nurse would need.
