Information needed for my foundations final paper! :(

HELLO EVERYONE! how are yall doing? Okay so I have a huge favor to ask anyone.. I am in my second quarter of nursing school *about ready to finish, woo hoo two weeks* Anyways we have to write a final paper on an area of nursing that we are interested in by interviewing or talking to someone else who is in that field! To be honest, I really am not picky thus far in what specific area of nursing im interested in so Im pretty much ope to interview anyone! Anyways, I would LOVE LOVE (PLEASE) if anyone could answer a few short questions for me:
-Scope of your nursing role
-personal and educational requirements (like cont. education credits and different classes in nursing school that potentially helped you to where you are today)
-and your professional responsibilities (roles and duties as an RN)
- Also if you would like to add anything else in, that would be great! Like a story or some advice that you can offer new nursing grads or even students just entering into clinicals!

Suggestion- find a nurse in person, and make the effort to interview someone face to face. Join in on the threads here, and maybe learn more about nurses - not just make your first post about getting your homework done- seriously. And, congrats on being so close to the end The Google search thingy at the top right may help with tips for new grads- LOTS of threads that cover that- and you're actually doing the work for it - it makes a difference

Hi, PM me if you like.

PM? lol im sorry I am new to all of this and I am actually really super struggling with this paper.. I tried to interview a couple of friends and they of course never got back to me and then yay i tried to interview a few more people and never heard back from them either!

oh my gosh thank you so much, you have no idea how much you have just helped me out! Do you mind if I ask what state you practice in? Because in colorado I know thT CE is not required in most hopsitals and facilities as of right now.. Most of our hospitals are magnet status as of right now as well. Why do you believe that 30 CE'S are not nearly enough? Just because Colorado doesnt require it...I must say, I have worked with MANY MANY charge nurses and out of all of those, only one of them has been as hands on as you are and thank-you so much for all you do! Someone like you makes each shift a little "easier" to get through if you know what I mean! Ah thank you again so much!

That was really nice of you to help her out Kooky. I think she appreciated it a lot! Good luck Katieour, love your enthusiasm!

One of my final papers was Family Presence during Resuscitation... creating a policy (less than 10% hospitals nationwide have a policy/procedure), teaching nurses/doctors about it, etc. It's been a growing topic and there is good current research on it.

Quote from esme12the issue i have with interviews over the internet is that you are not gaining the experience needed to conduct the face to face interviews that are so much apart of everyday nursing. there is a ton of non verbal information that can be obtained during a face to face interview such as during admission when you ask if they are being hurt by anyone....anyone can type no and verbally say no.....but when the look down, tearful, make poor eye contact figit in their chair.....gives another dimention to the interview.try your local school nurse, your doctor's office nurse. try your town's board of health nurse. go to cvs's minute clinic and talk to that nurse.....face to face. good luck...
