Master’s Prepared Nurse Interview;NUR 502
The purpose of interviewing a nurse leader with a master’s level of education is to gain insight to the interplay among education, career path, and opportunities. L.M. is an inspirational nurse, with great leadership qualities, compassion for those she serves and great insight into the “big picture” of health care and the changes occurring within the system. Conversations I had with her, prior to interviewing her, about health care and the patients she served while obtaining her master’s degree, showed her compassion and vision for the future. When I spoke with other leaders about her, they described her as a leader with great influence, dedication, compassion and critical thinking skills. I was inspired by her compassion and desire to drive change within the environment she works in. Her successful positive impact on the nursing profession and ability to drive change is a goal I strive for. This interview will allow me to identify specific competencies that the MSN-prepared nurse has gained, presently using, that reflect advance education.
Career Overview
Background Information
L.M. did not always have the interest of becoming a nurse. She did, however, know that she had compassion for people and enjoyed finding solutions to difficult problems. She initially thought she was going to be a teacher but she developed a passion for health care when she worked for a sterile processing department for the operating room. She obtained her Associates Degree in Nursing (ADN) in 2008 from Kalamazoo Community College. She started her nursing career as a surgery, prep and recovery nurse in a small rural town.
