[Katieour]

HELLO EVERYONE! how are yall doing? Okay so I have a huge favor to ask anyone.. I am in my second quarter of nursing school *about ready to finish, woo hoo two weeks* Anyways we have to write a final paper on an area of nursing that we are interested in by interviewing or talking to someone else who is in that field! To be honest, I really am not picky thus far in what specific area of nursing im interested in so Im pretty much ope to interview anyone! Anyways, I would LOVE LOVE (PLEASE) if anyone could answer a few short questions for me:

-Scope of your nursing role

-personal and educational requirements (like cont. education credits and different classes in nursing school that potentially helped you to where you are today)

-and your professional responsibilities (roles and duties as an RN)

- Also if you would like to add anything else in, that would be great! Like a story or some advice that you can offer new nursing grads or even students just entering into clinicals!

the issue i have with interviews over the internet is that you are not gaining the experience needed to conduct the face to face interviews that are so much apart of everyday nursing. there is a ton of non verbal information that can be obtained during a face to face interview such as during admission when you ask if they are being hurt by anyone....anyone can type no and verbally say no.....but when the look down, tearful, make poor eye contact figit in their chair.....gives another dimention to the interview.

try your local school nurse, your doctor's office nurse. try your town's board of health nurse. go to cvs's minute clinic and talk to that nurse.....face to face. good luck... :)

yes !!! this was my point- didn't express it well it's not about not wanting to be helpful. just the opposite- it's about not ripping you off as you learn the most you can :)
