I need to interview a public health nurse for my BSN class, if anyone is willing

The purpose of these types of assignments is to get you out of your comfort zone and talking face to face with a nurse. Unfortunately, there is no way you can guarantee anyone who would respond to your post is a nurse at all, let alone working in public health. Also, face to face conversation lets you explore tangents that will add much more information to your assignment beyond the minimum requirements. When I interviewed a nurse educator face to face, I was able to explore some of the answers more fully and gain a better understanding of certain aspects of changing specialties from management to education while also attending school. A back and forth email type of situation probably wouldn't have allowed for that exploration. There are several resources you can explore in finding a public health nurse- governmental health offices, public health offices, and others.
