Need help from an RN

[jessikadln]

Hello, my name is Jessika and I am currently in an introductory to nursing course. I have been assigned a paper that requires interviewing a registered nurse to gain a glimpse of what being a nurse is about. I would GREATLY appreciate if any RNs with a BSN or any RNs with and ADN, would answer the following 5 questions about your schooling and career experiences. I unfortunately do not know any nurses personally, and my job makes finding time to travel to clinics to ask a nurse there impossible. Please help if you have a moment. :)

1.) Describe your current role and past experience as an RN.

2.) Describe your educational pathway to your current position as an RN.

3.) What are your current job responsibilities?

4.) How have your views on nursing changed since graduating from nursing school?

5.) Describe how you integrate the HIPAA rules to maintain patient confidentiality.

Standard answer, as has been given to any of the other (many) similar requests--the point of this type of assignment is to force you to go out and actually talk to a RN face-to-face and NOT to post a list of questions on an internet forum where any random schmuck can answer.

Yup, you don't get to do this assignment here. We see these posts all the time, and you'll get the same answer they all do.

As a nurse, you need to be able to interview people. You also need to be able to verify their credentials. This simply cannot be done on a forum.

Talk to people you know to see if they know a nurse, or head to a hospital. You can't take the easy way out on this.

Best of luck!
