Information Interview of a Neonatal Nurse

Hello my name is Michelle and I'm a student at College of the Canyons.

I'm conducting a career research project and I need an Informational Interview on a Neonatal Nurse. I tried doing over the phone interviews but it didn't work out ( couldn't get someone to do an interview with me). I have a list of short questions and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time.

How do you know the person responding on here is a nurse? You have "tried" doing phone interviews? Define "tried". You may need to "try" harder. Go to the hospital. Contact a unit in the hospital and ask to speak with the head nurse and see if you can schedule a time to meet with someone. Also make sure if you are handing out written questions you are using spell check. Good luck.

That first block of questions is getting into some pretty personal information. Many posters come here because of the possibility for some anonymity. Answering those questions negates that.

I'm with the PP- contact local facilities. Set up a meeting. You really need to do some footwork- the interviewee won't come to you.
