Any and all answers would be very helpful...whether you are just starting out or have been a nurse for years!! Thank you very much :)

Hello!! I'm a 26 year old college student... just started back last week...very excited!! Second semester into getting my nursing degree! My English professor gave me an assignment to interview someone who is already employed in the field I'm majoring in. At first I thought it was going to be lame. But, I got to thinking, it'll give me perspective, a look into what I'm getting myself into...not so lame. At first I thought of going to one of the local hospitals and asking someone I already know but I thought it would be much more fun to post on here and get feed back from nurses across the country about what its like being a nurse. I'd greatly appreciate any answers to the questions I am about to ask. The more detail the better. To those answering, or just reading this thank you very much for the time you've taken to check this out and help me!!! Here goes... Question 1. Career background What do you do? How did you get to where you are? What made you choose nursing? Are you happy with your career? Question 2. What type of writing does your job entail? Question 3. How much writing does your job require? Is this writing done by hand or is it made easier by the use of computers? Question 4. Whats the economy for your job? Meaning how in demand are nurses today.. Question 5. How does your career effect your personal life? Question 6. What are some challenges you faces in your field? What are some I can expect as a nurse just out of college? Question 7. Have you ever doubted your career path? Question 8. (Last question!!) What is the most rewarding part of your job?
