Aren't you supposed to find a real life nurse manager? Actually seek one out and go to the effort of interviewing them?

Once again, you should probably find a real life nurse manager, rather than trimg to take short cuts

How do you know any of the members of an anonymous online message board are nurses nonetheless nurse managers? Did your professor truly assign you to solicit responses on an anonymous online forum without verification rather than an in person meeting to develop your interview skills?

We are very happy to help you complete your assignment. But maybe not in the way you expect. We expect you to do more work than just ask us to fill in our blanks.

We get these requests a lot, so if there are any other students out there who might get this kind of assignment, listen up:

Part of your faculty's reason for giving you this assignment is to get you to go out there and speak to a live RN face to face. A big email blast is not a substitute for shoe leather. AN is not Google.

See, in nursing, you have to learn to speak to a lot of people you would not otherwise encounter; you might find yourself out of your comfort zone. This is part of nursing, a huge part. An anonymous respondent online, well, you don't really know who we are, do you? We could be the truck driving guy living next door for all you know.

So if all you do about learning new things is "Go to the keyboard and hit send," then you are limiting your chances of actual learning a valuable skill you will need all your working life. Also, your faculty will not be impressed by your citation of an anonymous nurse on the internet.

That said: Where will you find a nurse manager? Think outside the (computer) box.

Local hospital: go to the staff development/inservice education office and ask one of them. They value education and will be happy to chat or to hook you up with someone who is.

Go to the public health department downtown. Ditto.

Go to the local school department and ask to speak to the head school nurse. Ditto.

Go to a local clinic / physician/NP office. Ditto.

Go to the local jail and ask to speak to the head nurse there. Ditto.

Notice all of these say, "Go to..." and not "Email..." Remember that part about meeting new people face to face and comfort zone.

Go!

I'll be honest, I don't understand why anyone thinks they can get answers like this by posting in a forum that is *supposed* to be nurses (one never knows, right?)

when I had these assignments I *gulped* said "oh crap" then went out and talked to people.

This is the second time you've posted this exact same question. So here's the answer we gave last time. Still the only answer there is.
