First time Poster, Long Time Reader needs help.

Published

I'm currently a pre-nursing student who needs an experienced nurse to conduct a interview with for my first seminar class. The following information I will need is the nurse's name, what is your academic background, what Degrees would you recommend for nursing, what is a typical work week from the time you get up until the time you go to bed. Furthermore I need someone who can share their net income information from when they first started until now. My last required question would be do you have a medical plan cost and if so does it get taken out of your gross income. For whoever is interested please feel free to contact me at the Email Address [email protected] or you can send a your information to me so that I can contact you. Thank you for all that respond and my project is due on 09-30-13.

P.S. Love This Forum

I am going to guess the point of your assignment is to go and find a real nurse. Contact a local hospital or go to your schools health services and ask to interview a nurse.

The intention of these projects is to get you outside the box and perform these interviews face to face.. The interview is an integral part of the admission process and as nurses we need to learn how to obtain personal information from complete strangers...the best method for this is practice, practice, practice.

You can go to a local urgent care, your PCP's office, your local free clinic, CVS minute clinic. Call a local school and ask it you can set up meeting with the school nurse...call you city town health department and ask for the health department...all of these will help you find a will nurse.

Allnurses is an anonymous site and our members prefer it that way so you my not find many who will provide you with so much personal and financial information.

Good luck in school!

I agree with Esme12. How would you know if anyone who contacts you is truly a nurse and the information he or she shares with you is accurate? This is, afterall, an anonymous Internet bulletin board and sometimes people make claims online that are not factual in real life.

For your interview to have credence, you need to find a nurse in your community and conduct a face-to-face interview with him or her. Does your primary care provider's office have a nurse? If so, you could start there. Also, another good place to start would be to go to the Student Health Services on your campus and ask if you could interview one of the nurses to fulfill a course assignment.

Hi thank you guys for replying. I would like to elaborate furthermore and say that my instructor for this particular class said that we can conduct a interview via the internet or in person. We will also do research on our chosen profession as well conduct a interview. While I would like to go to a clinic or hospital and do a interview with a nurse, I am simply too busy during the week to do so. My week consists of commuting by bus and transit to school and back each day, in particular this week I also have other class papers that need to get done as well. Lastly I work during the evenings weekdays days at usually around 4 or 5 o'clock, which given my slow commute leaves me from around 2 or 3 hours to get back home and prepare for work. I'm trying to be as balanced as possible with my time, school work and conducting a interview via the internet would work the best for me in acheiving that. Also I'm fully aware that some people lie about who they are on the internet but I'm just hoping that the good people of Allnurses will have my back on this one and be honest.

Allnurses is an anonymous site....many nurses value that anonymity and won't be comfortable sharing financial information. I think the instructor of this course is doing a disservice to the student by not encouraging them to go out side the box. But that is just my opinion.

I wish you the best.

I would never share that much personal info - esp financial- with a total stranger.

Take the trip over to the student health building, meet the nurse there, and take a later bus. In the three days between your two postings surely you could have found an hour.

Or interview some nursing faculty not in your year. They're nurses too.

As for me, nope, no personal info to people I don't know.

Good luck.

Your professor is asking you to ask people what their salary is? That is beyond confidential. *** is wrong with your teacher?

Yikes good luck with finding someone to give you that info off this site. You may have to attempt to find the time to find a nurse in real life that feels comfortable giving you this information.
