We are happy to help with homework...however most nursing programs wish for you do think outside the box and find ways to interview someone face to face. The interview process is an important skill for a nurse to have for thee is much information you can ontainby non verbal clues.

We get these requests a lot, so if there are any other students out there who might get this kind of assignment, listen up:

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. Also, your faculty will not be impressed by your citation of an anonymous nurse on the internet.

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!

I really dont think that is true. When I had this assignment, they accepted any form of interviews. Nowadays, society is accepting and often preferring alternative communication routes like email, blogs, skype etc...In fact we use texts, and instant messaging, along with emails at my hospital. Im sure IPads will replace laptops soon.

I agree.....2013SN......however we,as nurses, still need to have interview skills face to face as a part of every admission. We ask complete strangers to trust us with their most intimate information when they have NO IDEA who we are, what kind of people we are, and are we worthy of that trust. I am finding that it is increasingly more common that there is an awkwardness at this and I have witnessed avoidance and an increasing lack of skill in this arena which I believe is in part from the use of electronic media.

I am sure one can do the admission interview/process by skype.....but I do not believe that will be anytime soon. There is a special skill involved in the interview process when a patient is admitted or assessed in triage....to establish that trust....as well as pick up on non-verbal clues...to glean as much information as possible and provide the best care. I think this process of going outside your comfort zone and learn how to be an effective interviewer begins in nursing school.

I realize that some schools allow internet interviews but each student needs to be sure with their school to be sure social media is the place to find "qualified" people to interview....as in reality...we have no idea who in behind that avatar or user name. Are they really a nurse?

I will do some surveys/interviews for members if it is clear that they have used multiple sources and this is an additional one and not a mass mailing to social media hoping for any response then going to bed to re-check in a few days. To me that isn't making a quality nurse, nor honing those important interview skills.

.....This is just my humble opinion for what it's worth.
