Cross post - kind souls in specialties willing to answer 12 question writtens?

[cb_rn]

this is a cross post.

i'm finishing up my bsn and as one of my very last classes i need to collect "interviews" on certain specialties for a paper. i did not write these questions, they are the required format that must be turned in for the class. the interviews must be turned in as well. imho these sound akin to essay questions and i apologize for them being so wordy. i am writing a summative paper based on the answers from these questions so i do not need a "paper" from each respondant. however, since i have to synthesize the answers to write my own paper i do need them to be thoughtful enough that i can write a coherent comparison/contrast for various specialty practice areas. i do not need complete sentences and anyone that has time to answer these for me would have my most sincere thanks.

i am in need of

1. np or cns

2. nursing administrator such as manager, cno, don, etc

3. educator, either faculty or staff development

4. infection control or qi

5. staff nurse with bsn or general msn that is not a aprn

if you have a kind heart and would help me, would you please post your specialty below and answer the following questions in a doc or rtf file and email them through my user profile? i appreciate any response, i am not working right now due to some circumstances with our military move and i don't have any "network" in this area, only my friends here at allnurses. i only need one of each of the 5 above but if you are interested in participating and your specialty is already taken, i'd be happy to pass along your info to some of my classmates that don't use allnurses currently and are struggling to find someone in person with the time to answer this exam posted below.

5. describe how you apply quality improvement processes to implement patient safety initiatives and monitor outcomes. how are nurse-sensitive indicators monitored in your institution?
