Homework Help- Cultural Interview

Nursing Students Student Assist

Published

Hi! I have to do a paper based on an interview with someone from a culture other than my own. If you have immigrated to the US in the last 6 years, I could really use your help. The questions are mostly about healthcare. It should only take maybe 20 minutes? I could email you the questions, or we could IM or Skype or whatever is most convenient. Please let me know if you can help!

I may need help after all, is there anyone who wouldn't mind doing the interview with me?

We are not supposed to give interviews on the forum. Interviews are supposed to be done face-to-face. You have to meet with someone and sit down to talk to them and ask them questions. That is the whole point of the interview. If you do an interview on a forum, it's the same as making it up b/c anyone can claim to be of a different culture. You have to meet with them. We get asked this everyday. Some people get away with getting someone to answer questions online, but you need to have a face-to-face interview.

I'm not really sure why someone would take the time to answer my questions by making up fake answers, pretending to be a culture they aren't.

Mods, if you could delete this thread, that would be fine, I wasn't trying to be inappropriate, I was just asking for help, figuring that other nursing students may have been in my shoes.

I am not saying someone is going to give fake answers or pretend to be someone else. I am talking about the validity of doing something face-to-face vs getting an email or IMing someone. You aren't being inappropriate. I was just saying many students ask to interview someone on the forum and we are told to inform them that interviews are to be done face-to-face. It's simply information we try to pass on.
