Standard answer, as has been given to any of the other (many) similar requests--the point of this type of assignment is to force you to go out, perhaps leave your comfort zone, actually talk to a RN face-to-face and NOT to post a list of questions on an internet forum where any random schmuck can answer.

Cohiba you are not helpful, I hope you aren't a nurse.

Actually what they are saying is true. Find a nurse to talk to. It will be more rewarding than you think :)

THIS.

Reach out to local area clinics, nursing homes, hospitals and speak to a nurse educator there.

These assignments are usually where someone has to find someone in person with verifiable credentials, not necessarily from an anonymous website where the nurse posting prefers to stay anonymous, and/or other posters who are NOT nurses; you can not always tell.

never mind I came to the wrong place

Now how on earth would you know for sure that the random person that might respond to this is actually a nurse? This is an anonymous website and people could say whatever they want and claim to be whomever they want to be. Sorry, but this is not the place to solicit information for an assignment.

Stop getting so upset. How do you expect to make it in an environment where you frequently have to go out there and talk to people you don't know, when you can't even do it now. Do the legwork. Posting questions here is the easy and lazy way out. 11 questions especially. That would take an RN a decent amount of time to respond to and then you just get to copy paste without doing any of the legwork. Go out there and did an RN to interview in person. That is the entire point of these assignments. Plus, how can you verify that it was an experienced RN. Do you know if I'm a student or an RN? Or if I answers your questions would you even care to know the truth or would you just take my answers for your essay?

Those questions are the basic reason why you will find no help in your interview. Keep up the attitude and you won't get help for other things either. The nurses here have a wealth of knowledge and in the nursing student assistance forum they share it with people willing to try first and ask for help.

Nursing school will take a lot of hard work to complete. Start practicing now and go out and actually DO the work that was assigned to you instead of relying on someone here to do it for you.

Oh, and while you're at it, use the search bar on this site to search "interview". Then maybe you will understand. GL
