I am an international grad nurse student joined emory this semister. As a part of my human resource development course I suppose to interview or discuss with collegues(nurses) on given points and came up with how are nurses and institutions doing to the discussion board. Probably. it is only me who use web to met other nurses on that position because i can't reach nurses easily and i can't do it with nurses in my country too , it may not fit with USA experiances.It is not for paper or reseach activities. What i am going to do is gather experiances form some of you and share with my classmate. Of course am not as active as others who realy talked and worked with the one who shared experiance since i can not explain further except what i gat here.
