• Submit the Milestone 2 Template to the Dropbox as instructed by Sunday of Week 3.

• After return of the graded Milestone 2, use faculty feedback to revise areas and questions to plan for a superior interview. Revisions do not need to be submitted to faculty.

NOTE : Do NOT schedule the interview until after Friday of Week 4 to allow your instructor time to grade your Milestone 2 Assignment unless you have received prior permission from your instructor. If the interviewee’s schedule requires that you do the interview before that date, consult your instructor regarding early submission of Milestone 2 to ensure that you receive comments in time to incorporate revisions before the interview. Thank you.

IMPORTANT: Remember that the interview must be a face-to-face interview or a phone interview where you can ask questions of the nurse, the nurse responds, and you provide your response. It is not acceptable to do use email or any other written method to have the nurse write or type the answers. Contact your instructor if you have questions. Thank you.
