The purpose of these assignments is generally to interview a nurse in person. While it's safe to say that the vast majority of people on here are indeed nurses or nursing students, there is no guarantee that you are "interviewing" a real, live nurse. An interview consists of people talking together with the give-and-take of a natural conversation. Your best bet is to ask around, maybe at your clinical site, and see if you can talk one-on-one with a nurse there.

I understand but I don't know any nurses personally. Although my teacher did prefer us to interview in person she still allowed e-mail interviews as well. Thanks for your concern though.

Most people don't know nurses personally. That is kind of the whole point of these types of assignments. You are supposed to call, email, or go to medical facilities and request to interview a nurse. If they don't have someone who can see you in person, they will sometimes have a staff nurse email you directly to email interview or set up an interview appointment. Just because this site is called allnurses, doesn't mean whoever you interview will actually be a nurse. For all you know it is a person pretending to be a nurse because they never followed their dreams or whatever. By not verifying they are a nurse, it kind of invalidates the entire interview from an integrity standpoint.
