Quick Research Survey!

Welcome to AN! We get these requests often, and I think there are some things you should realize about asking these questions here. You cannot be sure that anyone who responds is truly a nurse. Proof of licensure isn't required to become a member, so there certainly could be people who only pose as nurses who would try to answer. Secondly, this is a very rigid format that doesn't offer a lot of flexibility. I had to interview a nurse for an assignment. Because we sat down over lunch, I learned a lot more by going off on tangents than I would have using a format such as this. Thirdly, typing out a response is going to take up a lot more of someone's time than sitting and talking.

So, where can you go for answers? You could try the local school nurse, a public health office, a nursing home, the local hospital, ambulatory care offices, etc. There's a wealth of possibilities, and this is an opportunity where you can make connections in the nursing world that just might help when it comes to trying to find a job.
