Short online interview help desired. Please read.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this! I am currently doing an internship practicum for my college, Ferris State University, and have chosen to investigate the nursing field as I am hoping to go into it. Allnurses.com has an amazing variety of nurses which I could not hope to find in my area of rural Michigan and I hope to tap into this variety by asking you to consider taking this interview.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to answer these questions. All information will be kept strictly confidential and only used qualitatively to help give me a better understanding of the different areas of nursing. If you could simply reply to this post that you would be answering them, and later email me your response it would be great.

The email address to which the answers can be sent is: [email protected]
