Group Paper on Nurse Interview: Interview with Specialty Nurse

Guidelines

This is a group project and each group must choose a different nurse to interview.

Choose a specialty for nursing that provides care to a vulnerable population. Make arrangements to interview a nurse working in that field. This may be an in-person interview or telephone interview whichever your group and the nurse decide on.

Write a 2 page paper detailing the results of the interview and what you learned from the nurse about the population she/he provides care to.  You may choose any of the specialties we have learned about in this course but it must be pertinent to caring for vulnerable populations.

Here are a few suggestions and I do have contact information for nurses who have agreed to be interviewed. Let me know if you choose one of the suggested nursing specialties and I will give you the information to contact the nurse.

Here are the questions to ask:

1. Why did you choose this specialty?
2. How long have you worked in this particular field?
3. What special training/certification does it require?
4. What prompted you to become a nurse?
5. What are you biggest job motivators?
6. How do you try to create a great patient experience with all you come in contact with?
7. Would you recommend this specialty to someone else?

Follow the posted rubric specific to this assignment.
