I'm doing my Senior research paper over nursing, and one of my sources must include an interview. Is there anyone online who is a nurse, or just happens to know a lot about the field? Maybe your parent is a nurse or you know someone who is involved with that field?

Some of the questions should include:

What is your typical day like?
What were some of your most memorable experiences?
What do you enjoy most?
Anything inparticular you would like to share?
What do you recommend for someone with aspirations to go into nursing?


I don't know how to get in touch with many people around here, other than going to an actual hospital, but... that's kind of hard to squeeze in my schedule this very moment.

Any help would be so, so gratefully appreciated! flowers.gif

I used to be a nursing student. so i'll answer some of the questions.

What is your typical day like? as a nursing student, we had to make sure we knew enough information about our patients. we took their vital signs, gave meds, helped them with lunch, even helped them go to therapy if they had to go.

What were some of your most memorable experiences? i had a dying patient one day. she came in the night before and none of her family knew. so my assignment was to take care of her all day. which was really tough because she was really out of it. then the mother came in, was so upset when she found out. she thanked me so many times that i took care of her.

What do you enjoy most? i actually enjoyed working with old people. we had clinicals at a geriatrics hospital and everday, the nursing students got to do an activity day with the elderly. one time we did a disco day, and we played disco music and everyone was dancing.


What do you recommend for someone with aspirations to go into nursing? being a nurse and going to nursing school is a lot of responsibility. you have to put your all into it. a lot of studying and a lot of information to remember. but this is a very good job and you make good money. but it also feels good to be able to help and take care of sick people.
