...but state you don't know anybody and come to allnurses.com... I'm curious, what would you do if this website didn't existed?
When I was in nursing school, I used allnurses.com and other nursing websites as well as books for their resources which really helped me a lot. It never occured to me to ask for help with my HW. If I needed help, I would go to my instructor or go to a tutor or even a mentor.
Regarding interviewing a nurse, the instructors gave you this HW for a reason. Otherwise what would be the purpose of this HW if the instructors think the students wouldn't know any nurses? If it were me, I would interview my nurse I was partnered in clinicals, ask my instructor if he/she knew any nurses, if I was a volunteer approach one of the nurses at the hospital or even ask my doctor's/child doctor's nurse or the nurse at the school health services for an interview. There are plenty of opportunities to find somebody and interview face to face. This is the beauty of it, because you can see the expression on their faces as she/he recounts her/his experience and how she/he built herself/himself as a nurse.
I'm not trying to be mean. I'm actually curious, for those requesting help with homework, what would you do if allnurses.com didn't existed?
