Hi, I'm taking an intro nursing course before I apply next year, where we're required to interview a registered nurse to complete our assignment. I would be very grateful if you lovely ladies and gentlemen could assist me. I misinterpreted the assignment and thought any licensed nurse would do, but turns out it was specifically for RN's. Again, I'd be oh so thankful for your time in responding to these questions.
1. How long have you been a registered nurse?
2. In what area of nursing do you currently work?
3. How long have your worked in this area?
4. What are the most rewarding aspects of this job?
5. Why did you choose to become a nurse?
6. What is the most frustrating aspect of your work?
7. Do you recommend nursing as a career? Why or why not?
8. What suggestions do you have for people beginning a career in nursing?
@JustBeachyNurse That's not something I've familiarized myself with, so I'll take your word for it. With your having said that I can see how frustrating it may be if it's a reoccurring theme. That's truly unfortunate that there are people who are in this profession looking for shortcuts, but I'm a believer of practicing what I preach. I can't ask others within my daily life for accountability if I myself cannot follow in step. There's no merit in that as I voluntarily choose this course when it wasn't a requirement. It's serving as reinforcement so that I'm not complacent in assuming that I know all that I've studied thus far.
I'm certainly aware of the benefits of an in person interview. I find it's always fortifying to have that interaction with guides who have been where I am and understand where I aim to go.
This is snarky?? I've seen snarky and, madam, this is not snarky.

I don't mean any disrespect to RNinIN, but it is academic dishonesty to affirm that your source is an RN when you have no way of knowing that. Do you want to fail the class over cheating? If we are your Plan B, then you need a Plan C quick. Also, seriously, you need to chill out.
Specializes in critical care, ER,ICU, CVSURG, CCU.
If you have no interest in assisting me then why give commentary? Are people typically this facetious here because of the lack of tangible report?
You came on a nursing blog, and ask basically for us to help with your homework....there is absolutely no way for you to verify that any of us are truly a RN......
Specializes in psych, addictions, hospice, education.
Joy, those same exact questions are posted by many nursing students here. While you didn't know that, to many of us, it's tiresome. I wonder if it's your instructor who is the instructor of all those who have asked those questions here? How boring for her to read bunches of the same papers!
I think you could write about interviewing a non-RN and also about the responses you got here and then indicate what you have learned from the overall experience...and maybe even hint to your instructor to knock off giving the same assignment unless she gives more specific instructions (in person interview, not questions asked and answered on a chat board).

Wow, you come to a nursing forum to do your homework and get upset because people are being "facetious". Such a big word.
Seriously though. Got to love people who come and then try to dictate who can and can't reply to their post. It's a public forum. If you want to dictate to others than I suggest starting your own forum where you can do that.
Just another example of the age of entitlement we have today.
