Interview with Specialty Nurse Guidelines

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?

Here are the specialties I have contacted:

1.  Hospice/palliative care nurse.

2. Correctional facility nurse (she is also a SANE certified nurse).

3. Home health nurse.

4. Forensics nurse (this nurse is SANE certified also).

5. School nurse (I don’t have a contact for this specialty but you may).

Follow the posted rubric specific to this assignment.
