I need to interview a nurse!!!

[erock1star]

Hi, I'm in an advanced health program at high school and I need to interview a Healthcare Professional. When I'm older I want to be a nurse, so I figured I would ask here. Thanks!

1. Can you tell me the title of your job and give me a description of your job?

2. What education did you complete to get this job?

3. What do you enjoy most about your career?

4. If you could change anything about your career what would you change?

5. What characteristics do you think are important for someone in this career?

6. What are the continuing education requirements for your career?

7. How many hours do you usually work?

8. How many other healthcare professionals do you interact with on a daily basis?

9. Are there any advanced placement opportunities in this field?

10. Other interesting facts about your career?

THANKS!!!!!!

Standard answer, since this gets asked at least a couple times/week, is that the purpose of these assignments is for you to go out (perhaps breaking your comfort zone, perhaps not--I don't care...) and speak with a nurse face-to-face, NOT to post a list of questions on the internet where any schmuck with non-verifiable credentials can answer. Folks on here will generally help if you can show you've put some effort out but we're not going to do your homework for you.
