Fun Questionnaire for Nurses

homework? only 15 posts and no other info, so i'm curious!

Yes, this is homework. The assignment is to develop a 8-10 question questionnaire. I need some data to evaluate the results, so what better place to find nurses then on allnurses.

actually, the better place is to go to where you can talk to a real nurse face to face. how do you know who has responded to you from an online list? did your faculty tell you it was ok? the reason i ask is because part of your faculty's reason for giving you this assignment is to get you to go out there and speak to an rn face to face. a big email blast is not a substitute for shoe leather. an is not google.

see, in nursing, you have to learn to speak to a lot of people you would not otherwise encounter; you might find yourself out of your comfort zone. this is part of nursing, a huge part. an anonymous respondent online, well, you don't really know who we are, do you? we could be the truck driving guy living next door for all you know.

so if all you do about learning new things is "go to the keyboard and hit send," then you are limiting your chances of actual learning a valuable skill you will need all your working life.

that said: where will you find a nurse? think outside the (computer) box.

local hospital: go to the staff development/inservice education office and ask one of them. they value education and will be happy to chat or to hook you up with someone who is.

go to the public health department downtown. ditto.

go to the local school and ask to speak to a school nurse. ditto.

go to a local clinic / physician/np office. ditto.

go to the local jail and ask to speak to the nurse there. ditto.

notice all of these say, "go to..." and not "email..." remember that part about meeting new people face to face and comfort zone.

go!

(and you might want to expand the parameters in your questions )

I appreciate your advice. However, this is an English class assignment. These results are not going to go any further than a graded assignment that is based on if I can successfully construct the format of a questionnaire.

Color me disappointed. I thought you were going to ask fun things like hairstyles, preferred scrubs, hygiene habits, most disgusting body fluids, and what color socks do you wear. Now that's a questionnaire I could get on board with.
