My response for this prompt was to interview someone who was an “expert” in something. I decided to interview a nurse who I’ve known for a long time. I chose to interview a nurse for my expert interview because I’m a nursing student and I wanted to get some advice from a nurse that she would give to nursing students. I focused on advice she would give to nursing students and any tips she would give to someone who is studying for the NCLEX, which is the national state board that every nurse has to take. We also talked about what led her to be a nurse, what type of nursing she does and has done before, some classes that nurses have to take, and some skills nursing students have to learn before graduation. I chose to leave those things out because it might be uncomfortable for some people to hear, and I know that there’s other nursing students in the class, so I chose to focus on advice she would give to nursing students and new grad nurses. I felt that we had a good time doing this interview. I had to edit out some parts because there were other nurses working who kept jumping in and answering the questions, so I had to edit it down to make it an interview with only one nurse. Although I made the story about advice for nursing students and new grads, I also did this interview to gain insight into the profession, talk about specialties and take her advice about different specialties she’s done and ones she might suggest, and ask what a day in the light at her job looks like. I feel like it was successful and she had a good time giving me advice for one of my class projects.
