I've been working as a staff RN in a large federally funded community health clinic and a big part of my job is triaging walk-ins and phone triaging. In my experience, sure a book would help with the basics, but I have found that it ultimately comes down to with the providers at the clinic feel comfortable seeing and how they prefer certain patient situations are handled. While nursing judgment is needed, decisions on how to address most patient situations are very provider driven.

Well I am relatively new to my area and haven't been at working at my current workplace for very long. The only 2 nurse leaders I know are (who I think are incredible examples of nurse leaders) are my direct supervisor and DON, and as silly as it may sound, I am not comfortable with them knowing that I am pursuing a master's. My fear is that they will perceive me as uncommitted to the organization, or that I will leave as soon as I am done with school. Just a personal perspective I suppose.

I don't know why anyone would waste their time to thoughtfully respond to random interview questions if they're not even a nurse but I suppose you're right. Now, I don't mind sharing my personal reasons if you are wanting to offer helpful feedback as a nurse leader, otherwise there is no need to stray from the original post, thanks.

Hello, my name is Nancy, and I am a student pursuing my master's in nursing with an emphasis in healthcare systems leadership. One of our assignments is to interview a nurse leader. I would greatly appreciate if someone in this position would respond to the interview questions, as for I am not able to complete this interview with nurse leaders I personally know. I would greatly appreciate if any nurse leader is willing to take the time to answer the following interview questions. Here are the questions: 1) Describe the organization that you work in, including the culture of the organization and your responsibilities as a leader. 2) Describe your leadership style. 3) Describe the steps taken to get in your current leadership position. 4) What has been your biggest challenge as a leader? 5) What has been your greatest achievement as a leader? Thanks again! It would be very much appreciated!
