Nurse Manager Interview

[Quini7777]

Hi all. I am currently in a BSN program and have an assignment dilemma. I have to interview a nurse manager and my paper is due next Sunday the 25th of January. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to help me out? My questions are:

(Please feel free to elaborate my paper needs to be 5-7 pages long)

Can you describe your responsibilities related to evidence-based practice? For example, what are some of the key responsibilities of your job related to evidence-based practice?

Are there specific parts of developing, implementing, or evaluating EBP that you and your staff have responsibility for on a day-to-day basis?

What are some of the most important lessons you have learned related to EBP? What suggestions do you have for RN to BSN nursing students seeking to learn more about EBP?

How does technology help with EBP here?

Are there suggestions you have made or improvements you would like to see made in the way EBP nursing is practiced here?

What are some of the future trends, changes, etc., related to EBP you believe will occur here?

Generally, the purpose of these assignments is to get you out there talking to real, verifiable people. How are you going to verify that anyone responding to your post is truly a nurse, let alone a nurse manager? There are many resources you can use to find someone to talk to in person- your local public health office, the hospital where you do clinicals, and even cold calling around to see if you can set up an appointment. Not only does this allow you to verify that the person you are talking to is actually a nurse manager, you can also start setting up network connections that may assist you in obtaining your first job. The added benefit of an in person interview? You can also explore tangents. I had to interview a nurse educator for one of my assignments. Sitting down and actually talking let me explore some avenues of thought that wouldn't really have been possible if I tried to do the interview using an online message board. You've got a week- get out there and find a nurse to interview in person (or at the very least, over the phone).
