Homework interview needed!!!!!

Published

I wonder the correlation between avoiding contacting live nurses in person and being shocked at the reality of what a nursing job entails.

I would think, and recommend as I'm sure we all would regardless of homework, talking to both a seasoned and newer nurse after 3 consecutive shifts or end of of M-F work week would be done before taking out an unforgivable loan and investing years in school.

It it may not change someone's mind but maybe they would better plan for a 1st or 2 being rougher and more energy and time consuming than they might have imagined.

I have a confession to make. When I got those interview a nurse assignments I totally made the whole thing up. A lot of my "interview a mother of a toddler" or "interview someone who takes at least three medications" interviews were completely fictional, as well. I followed nursing blogs and had cousins and aunts that were nurses in various areas, so I had some clue what they were saying being a nurse was like. I babysat a lot, and volunteered in the nursery at church. So I also had a decent idea on things parents typically said. I always got decent grades. It was always a "cousin" "neighbor" or "person from my church" I interviewed.

There, I feel better. How many Hail Marys and Our Fathers will that be?

Perhaps that should be the litmus test before pursuing nursing, if you can't conceivably answer nurse interview questions yourself, some research might be in order.

I always wonder when people wait until the last minute to interview a nurse... "Why don't you just make it up?"

Is that awful? FWIW, I have yet to have to interview a nurse, so I have no opportunity to post on AN and ask one of you random individuals to do my homework for me.
