Interview with Nurse

[Purna94]

Hello Guys,

I am a new member to the forum because I have some question regarding this subject. I am a first year Nursing student and I have a class called Communication in Nursing. This professor gave us an assignment but I can't come up with a good question for this assignment.The Assignment is basically called "Interview with Nuse, where we have to interview a real nurse and makeup like 15 question to ask the nurse and write down answers and type something but I can't come up with any question. It would be great if you all could help me out making up like 12- 15 question.

thank you.

::sigh:: Alternative facts are coming to rule the day.

(The Socratic method IS a great way to develop critical thinking skills. Giving the answers ... not so much.)

Shame on you for even writing or implying that I think this way.

If that's directed at me personally, well, it's not always all about you and you alone.

I gave her some examples and answered a simple question. I am well aware of the Socratic method. How can they become critical thinkers if we are not there to give them a helping hand from time to time? Remember she is a first year student, not a third year. She is just starting to develop her critical skills. Enough said!

There is a difference between giving a helping hand & spoon feeding them answers. I'm all for help but how does that teach the student anything? Who is gonna feed the OP when they start their job? No one ever gave me all the answers & it made me a better nurse. This is why so many young, new nurses have such difficulty when they start their first job. Because they expect for everyone to hold their hand & tell them what to do. Then when that doesn't happen because, reality, the preceptor/boss/coworker/whoever is a bully. Ugh.

ETA: It's weird that you just joined on 2/1 & only have commented in this thread. Jus' sayin' ...

Hi organizedchaos, I was a fortunate nurse to have a great mentor in my life. She did not spoon feed me, but helped me become a very confident nurse. So throughout my career I wanted to help any person that needed me. So I did. I had tough days, but I was able to let work, stay at work, and home life, stay at home.

ETA: I have been a nurse close to 20 years and close to retirement. I just thought it would keep my mind off of things while I went through breast cancer. Right now I am going through my last 3 radiation sessions before I am cancer free. Only had time to answer to this thread because of all the times I have spent at the hospital. I do not think that is weird, do you?

I am sorry about the cancer & glad you had a great mentor. I don't think it's weird that you are on AN but the fact that you only replied to the one thread is.

But you did just the opposite of what your mentor did. You gave the OP answers instead of making that person do the leg work themselves. I'm sure you have seen the decline in nursing over the years. I have seen it & I've only been a nurse for 7 years. We like to help students that come here but we want them to show us that they did the work first before we just give them the answers. They don't learn anything if we just give the answers to them.
