please help me with my argumentation interview paper!!!

[bcmillan]

Hello everyone!!!

I am on my second semester of college and I am majoring in Nursing.

I need help with my argumentation interview paper that I have to write for my critical thinking class...these are the questions i am supposed to ask a nurse or someone that has related experience in this field:

-what role do the areas of communication, argumentation and debate play in the job?

-to what extend do you have to utilize informative and persuasive approaches to communication on the job?

-are there any specific aspects of argumentation (e.g., analysis, research and evidence, articulation of reason giving, etc.) which are essential in the job?

- are there any particular problem areas in the job that may be traced to problems of poor argumentation skills?

-what particular aspects of argumentation did you feel both most and least prepared to handle?

-what recommendations regarding argumentation and communication would you give to someone pursuing this career?

-what recommendations regarding argumentation and communication would you give to others in the workplace?

====I know they are a lot of not so easy questions, but you guys are my last resource because i have interviewed three nurses and I couldn't get any info out of them....Please help me!!!!!!!

Obviously the instructors have long forgotten that working nurses do not have time for these questions requiring reflection. I would just "imagine" what the answers should be. Look at your nursing psych text for therapeutic communication and that might help you.
