Interview for school

I need someone to help me out here. I have a college assignment where I have to interview someone in a career field that I would like to do. So, sense I am a male I figured this would probably be the best place for this, just so I can get a male perspective of what it is like. I want to be and ER Nurse so if your in that area I think it would benefit me the most. All are welcome to answer though.

1. What is your name?

2. What is your educational history?

3. What is your hometown?

4. What kind of nurse are you?

5. How did you get interested in your field?

6. What are your hobbies outside of work?

7. What is your opinion on what it takes to be a successful college student?

8. Are you in the current career field that you thought you would end up in?

9. If you could do all of your schooling again and go for a different area, what would you have changed? (may not apply to everyone)

These are a few questions for now. If I have any more I will be sure to reply. Thanks to all that participate! Also, if you don't want to post your answers here feel free to send them in a PM or an email. I have to write a paper on this in a week so if you wouldn't mind getting back to me by this weekend I would appreciate it. Thanks.

1. Peter

2. I have a previous bachelor's of in biochemistry/minor in genetics and hold a bachelor's of science in nursing.

3. Originally from Florida, but now reside in North Carolina.

4. Critical Care-Medical ICU

5. When I was in the Army, made friends with a medic; then while in college meet a woman, who I later married, whose father received a liver transplant. Witnessed the education, care and skill that his nurses gave to him and the family. So here I am.

6. Exercise, horsebackriding, reading, video games, allnurses.com

7. Keeping things in perspective. School, esp nursing school, has tremendous demands and at times seems overwhelming, but you learn what need your attention and what does not. Go to class and stay engaged with your professors.

8. No, honestly nursing is my 3rd career. First was military, then I wanted to do scientific research, but now I want to do and stay in nursing.

9. No, everything happens for a reason. I feel that both degrees work well together. Will help to participate in nursing research if I need a diversion.

1. Paul

2. Diploma nurse, never went back to complete a degree as I was already doing

what I trained to do and was not looking to management or anything.

(outside of orlando) and currently live in Phoenix, Az.

4. ER at present(over 21 yrs experience-M/S, Oncology, PCU/Tele, ER, Nursing

Supervisor, ICU and ER again).

5. Grew up hanging on street corners(gang fights to football playing and a bit of

a hell-raiser), wanted to be in helping my fellow man and esp. wanted to do

peds but never got to do so because of appalling things I witnessed people had

to done to their kids(wouldn't have been licensed for long).

6. Reading, movies, weekend retreats, Reiki, Harry Potter.

7. Know what you want from school, study hard but take some sanity time for

yourself, and know where you want your education to take you.

8. Wanted to be a Paleontologist when I was a kid, then a fire-fighter, tried the

USMC but got a medical discharge, nursing decision made at age 25 and glad

to have done so.

9. Would go to nursing at an earlier, maybe got degreed so I could teach, but am

planning on going back now and becoming Nurse practitioner.

Hope this helps and is not too late.....flaerman:balloons:
