Help with a school assignment

Published

Hello All! I am currently obtaining my BSN and one of my assignments is to interview a currently practicing BSN RN. I was hoping to get some help from someone on this site. I have used this site in the past for this same thing and it worked very well for my assignment then, so I figured I would give it another try!

Here are the questions that I need answered:

›Is lifelong learning important to you?

›Do you feel continuing education is sufficient for life long learning?

›How do you feel the push towards increasing the number of Bachelor educated nurses will assist in the amount of nurses who have a desire to pursue continuing education?

›Do you feel that earning your BSN degree helped you to be a better nurse or do you feel like more specialty continuing education hours would have served you better and why?

›How do you specifically plan to practice lifelong learning in your practice, if at all?

Any nurses out there who are BSN's please take a minute to read over these questions and hopefully answers!

Thanks in advance and hope to hear from someone soon!

How are you going to verify from an anonymous public website that not only the respondent a licensed RN but also holds a valid BSN and not a lonely hermit from east LA playing a nurse online? Just curious.

It's not an interview if the subject must type out the responses for you to cut and paste...

Go to a hospital. Interview a real nurse that you can verify is a nurse.

You may end up making a friend and having an job opportunity later.

What JustBeachy said is exactly what everyone else on this site will say. I've yet to see someone actually agree to do any of these interviews so far.

Getting my BSN did not help me in any shape, form or fashion related to knowledge. Maybe because I educate myself continuously.

And as a whole, I do not consider a BSN nurse a having any more than an insignificant amount of preparation compared to a ASN nurse related to education. But that is my opinion as a independent thinker.

I am just looking for someone to answer a few questions for a school assignment. If you don't wish to participate, that is up to you. No worries!

The one willing to answer was not willing to type out all their responses nor were they willing to give out personal contact information for the instructor to verify. I recall one student complaining a few years back when a student just printed out the web page with answers typed out by anonymous members (didn't even bother to cut and paste into a formal document with citations) complained that her instructor rejected the work as invalid.

But how are you going to verify the respondent is an RN with a BSN? Have you tried any of your community resources home health, LTC, school nurses, health department, clinics, VA, immunization clinics, private duty agencies?

The benefit of a local interview is developing professional contacts that can be helpful resources as you progress through your nursing education and begin your career.

I think your going to continue to be harassed, even though a Mod moved this thread to a forum specifically for this type of thing.

I was busy earlier….but that's no one's business.

›Is lifelong learning important to you? Yes

›Do you feel continuing education is sufficient for life long learning? No, there is more to learn in the medical field beyond the scope of nursing.

›How do you feel the push towards increasing the number of Bachelor educated nurses will assist in the amount of nurses who have a desire to pursue continuing education? It will lower the amount of people willing to enter the nursing profession, and will not assist in an increase in continuing education directly related to the push for BSN. It is a side effect from the type of people that are already motivated to learn even before entering into a BSN program. But educators will claim it was the couple of leadership classes in a BSN program.

›Do you feel that earning your BSN degree helped you to be a better nurse or do you feel like more specialty continuing education hours would have served you better and why? Answered

›How do you specifically plan to practice lifelong learning in your practice, if at all? By reading up to date medical journals, and furthering my knowledge base in biology and physiology.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. I think my post may have been taken a little to seriously as my intention was just merely to get some simple answers for an online course that really doesn't need a lot of effort. I understand everyone's thoughts and I get that an actual in person interview is more accurate and what not, but I really just needed some simple answers to put into a power point. Again thanks for your time and everyone else should just lighten up a little.
