Nurse school project

Published

Hello allnurses, I am a pre-nursing student hoping to find a nurse willing to answer some questions for a school career project. I have been calling around doctor's offices but to no avail. If anyone could take the time to help me, I would be extremely grateful!! Here are the questions:

1. Why did you decide to work in this field?

2. Did you have another career before you went to school to become a _________? What was it like to change from one career to another?

3. Where did you go to school for this job? What was the hardest part of school for you?

4. What is a typical workday like? Do you have a lot of overtime? (If yes, How is overtime scheduled? Do you have enough notification so you can adjust your schedule at home, etc.?)

5. Do you work under a lot of pressure in this job? (If yes) Can you give me an example of a typical high-pressure situation?

6. Is there a lot of take-home work in this job? (If yes, Do you ever find it hard to turn-off work at home and enjoy a personal/family life?)

7. What kinds of professional development opportunities are there in this field? Can a person move up in this career?

8. Do you see this field as growing and expanding? Can you give me examples of why you think this is happening?

9. Is this a secure field? Can you give me reasons why you think this is true?

10. Does this job give you the challenges you need to stay interested in this field?

11. Do you see yourself doing this job for the rest of your work life? Why (or why not)?

12. I am a person who needs a lot of constructive criticism on a job. Does this career field provide that for a person like me?

It'll be easier for you to go out & actually have a interview w/ nurses rather than looking for someone to make it easier on you & give you a handout & do your homework.

Try local nursing organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, or nursing schools. You'll get much more out of this project if you do the interview in person.

You are unlikely to find someone to answer your questions here. You are less likely to be able to guarantee that someone who does answer these questions actually is a nurse.
