Questions for nurses and nursing students or recent graduate????

[ashley_o]

Hi, I have recently been accepted into practical nursing school, and I have to contact a nurse and a nursing student or recent graduate for a interview. Is there anyone who would like to give me an interview?

My questions are:

What do you like most about being a nurse?

What are your working conditions like?

Why did you want to be a nurse?

What is the hardest thing about your type of work?

When you had to deal with death, the first time, how did you handle it?

Thank you for you time

When is this due? It would probably be in your best interest to interview someone in person, or at the very least over the phone. My advice would be to contact a department in your area of interest and request to shadow a nurse for a few hours. Explain that you are a nursing student and you would like to get to see what a nurse does on the floor. During that time, you can work in your questions for the interview.
