Decent Essays
Interview Narrative Have you ever been in the hospital for a long time? Do you remember the nurses who helped you get better? Nurses are the first to work and the last to leave. Nurses need to know a lot about every problem. My mother and her friend, Noelani Harmony Rivers Todt, were on the phone so I asked her my interview questions because she recently finished nursing school.We had speakerphone on and Noelani talked in a clear voice. She sounded confident about her information. She laughed some and seemed like a nice pleasant person. She’ll probably make a good nurse, making people feel comfortable when she talks to them. Noe recently married; Todt is her married name. She was born on Maui in 1986 and has lived here for most of her life.

I think I could have made this interview better by utilizing more nursing concepts, therefore, developing a better plan.…

    Illustration essay Through the eyes of a newbie: Successful Nurse Nursing is a profession of caring for the individual, while the doctors are caring about the disease.
