I didn't mean to imply that every older person doesn't use Skype, I was just referring to the particular people I know who happen to be older and who don't have Skype. No offence meant, I was just trying to explain why I needed to ask the wider nursing community. I also wasn't aware of any first-time poster etiquette and I didn't see any rules. I was just hoping to find someone willing to help out a nursing student and I thought if someone approached me willingly then I wouldn't be bothering anyone. Sorry - this obviously wasn't the right place to post this.

Hi Everyone, I'm a first year nursing student in a compressed program, and for one of my classes I have to interview a nurse (gotta love these first year courses!). The nurses I know who would be open to this don't live nearby, and I'd have to travel about 1.5 hours to interview them (the interview has to be audio recorded & transcribed, and they are older people who don't have Skype). If anyone here would be willing to Skype with me for about 15-20 minutes about their experiences as a nurse, not only would I be super appreciative but I would send you a Starbucks gift card (or just paypal you a bit of money out of gratitude). The requirements are: Be a nurse in Canada (preferably in Ontario) Have had at least 5 years experience Be an RN (or NP) If anyone is interested, I could send you the questions beforehand so you know what would be necessary. Thank you!
