You would do best to seek out a nurse and interview them in person. I am pretty sure your instructor didn't mean for you to post this on an anonymous internet board (where not everyone is a nurse and YOU have no way of knowing) and then expect those anonymous people to do your homework for you.
As a new member, you're probably just unaware that AN gets inundated with these types of requests to interview a nurse. MMJ gave you the condensed version of the now pretty standard reply to said requests: 1. the goal of these types of assignments is usually to have the assignee have an actual conversational interview, not have someone fill out a questionnaire; 2. this anonymous online internet forum does not vet its members for credentials, so you have no way of knowing if you're getting responses from actual nurses or nurse-wannabes (which would sort of invalidate the whole process, no?); and 3. it takes a whole lot of time, effort, and energy for people to type out all of their responses to said requests when the work should actually fall on you, the student and interviewer.
Anywho, these request don't usually provide any fruitful results for the requestor, so you may want to start working on a plan B and reach out to nurses in your area to set up a time for an in-person, telephone, or video chat.
Yes I was very unaware of how this site runs. I just thought that I would be able to message a nurse back and forth to get some dialogue going. I really do appreciate your comment and I will try to reach out to some nurses locally. I am a hardworking student, I don't slack, and I don't expect my work to be done for me. I'll just have to explore different options. Thank you!

Hey guys! I am new to this thing and I am kind of excited to start interacting with nurses and nursing students from all over. I am currently in my 4th term (two more terms to go, BSN WOOHOOO!). My informatics class is having me do an assignment that allows me to interview a nurse or an MSN nurse. IF ANYONE COULD ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS BELOW, I would GREATLY appreciate it:
1.What is nursing informatics?
2.What are some examples of NI that you used today?
3.What is the goal of technology in health care?
4.How has technology changed since you started nursing?
5.What computer based information systems do you use beside Cerner?
6.What you think are crucial elements of CBIS?
