Nursing Interview assignment

Wilkes University Passan School of Nursing NSG 504 Assignment 1 Interview Assignment (20 points) Interview Guide

• The purpose of this assignment is to explore the role of the advanced

practice nurse (APN) in depth as she/he functions in the context of the

institution in which he/she is employed. Compare and contrast the

observed/evaluated role to that as described in professional

guidelines, theory, and research.

• The APN that the student selects to interview should be certified in the

same nurse practitioner (NP) role as the NP track that the student is in.

Ex. A student in the PMHNP track should interview a PMHNP, a

student in the FNP track should interview an FNP, and a student in the

AGPCNP track should interview an AGPCNP unless permission is

received from the course instructor to complete an interview

otherwise.

• Guidelines:

a. Develop an interview guide with 10 questions, which reflect the

topics reviewed in the course such as: professional expectations,

health policy, reimbursement, professional role history,

theoretical foundations of the role, research and EBP, ethics in

healthcare, leadership, interprofessional collaboration, and/or

any other relevant issues that affect the professional role.

b. Using the developed interview guide, schedule an interview

with an APN to learn about their role within the health care

system. Please include the interview questions in your paper.

Prior to the interview, review the mission, vision, and goals of

this agency. Does this professional nurse carry out the mission,

vision, and goal of the agency, and how?
