help with an interview assignment

punkiepinay · Oct 4, 2005

is anyone interested in getting interviewed by a nursing student (me) for my fundamentals of nursing class. My name is Tina and im a nursing student(obviously) at Marymount in Northern VA. I need to interview an RN for an assignemtn but also for my own curiousity. I am really anxious to start working and can't wait to start clinicals next fall. I promise the questions wont be too brain racking and it will only take abt 15- 20 mins. So if anyone is willing to help me out please reply back.

here are a list of questions that i would like to ask:

Why did you choose nursing as a career?
How long have you been working as a RN?
What type of nursing education programs have you completed?
Do you have a specialty area?
What types of settings have you worked in as a RN?
What type of setting are you working in at this time?
What do you like about nursing?
What are some of the challenges that make nursing difficult at times?
What advice would you give me, a new nursing student?
How are clinicals different from actually working?
What characteristics do you believe every nurse has?

thanks alot!!

Tina
