even though you're a high school student (and if you're in that international baccalaureate program, congratulations!) i'm going to give you the same answer i give every student who posts a request like yours.
we get these requests a lot, so if there are any other students out there who might get this kind of assignment, listen up:
part of your faculty's reason for giving you this assignment is to get you to go out there and speak to an rn face to face. a big email blast is not a substitute for shoe leather. an is not google.
see, in nursing, you have to learn to speak to a lot of people you would not otherwise encounter; you might find yourself out of your comfort zone. this is part of nursing, a huge part. an anonymous respondent online, well, you don't really know who we are, do you? we could be the truck driving guy living next door for all you know.
so if all you do about learning new things is "go to the keyboard and hit send," then you are limiting your chances of actual learning a valuable skill you will need all your working life.
that said: where will you find a nurse? think outside the (computer) box.
local hospital: go to the staff development/inservice education office and ask one of them. they value education and will be happy to chat or to hook you up with someone who is.
go to the public health department downtown. ditto.
go to the local school and ask to speak to a school nurse. ditto.
go to a local clinic / physician/np office. ditto.
go to the local jail and ask to speak to the nurse there. ditto.
notice all of these say, "go to..." and not "email..." remember that part about meeting new people face to face and comfort zone being a huge part of nursing; it's never too early to learn something useful. go forth and conquer the world!! :w00t:
I don't know if you understand that for the IB program you need many recourses and this is just one of them that I decided to use. I have been going places and talking to people but I also need other sources. Thanks for your advice.
