Input from a Nurse Practitioner please :)

[Quiltmaker05]

hi! i am a current nursing student. for an assignment i am supposed to interview an advanced practice nurse.....so if anyone would be so kind as to answer some questions for me it would be very much appreciated! also, after you answer them, that would be great! just an e-mail saying that i didn't make it up, that a real person really did answer my questions is all i need lol

so here goes:

1.) how many years have you been a practitioner and where did you receive your education?

2.) what other roles have you worked in health care and for how long? what made you decide to change?

3.) what influenced your decision to practice where you do? (ex: if you work in a hospital, why did you choose that over a clinic?)

4.) how have you incorporated professionalism into your role as being a nurse? do people perceive you differently even in public when you're not working? how do you respond to that?

5.) what advice would you offer to a nursing student working to obtain their nursing degree?

6.) what advice would you offer a new grad just beginning in the nursing profession?

thank you so much i really appreciate it! have a lovely day

I think the intent of your assignment is to have a real life, face-to-face encounter with someone. We were told not to solicit internet-based interviews for our assignments. I would double check with your instructor before you input energy into this

good point, inland!

Actually our teacher told us that we should online forums if possible rather than inundating local staff with a ton of interviews. This site was mentioned specifically. We are supposed to do an LPN, RN and Nurse Practitioner. I did my LPN in person and used my mom as my RN. All I need is a Nurse Practitioner now so if someone could help me that would be awesome!!!!!!
