Rationale for Assignment

It is important for students to have a thorough understanding of the roles of nurse managers because the students will be working with nurse mangers and some of them may be future nurse managers.

Instruction

The student will formulate their own interview questions for the nurse managers. Students must ask 6 -10 questions. Please see sample interview questions below:

Sample Interview Question

State your job description
What qualifications are required for the position of charge nurse?
What is the average census on your unit?
How many nurses work on your unit per shift and what is the nurse patient ratio?
Describe a typical day at work
What do you like best about your job?
What do you like the least about your job?
What are some motivating factors that help you to do your job?
If you could have a do over, would you still choose to be a nurse manager?
What would you inform a graduate nurse who is interested in becoming a charge nurse?
Please provide the name and contact information for the nurse manager that you interview to your instructor. Kindly ask the nurse for permission to submit the nurse’s name and contact information. You may perform the interview via telephone or Zoom. Emailing the questions to the nurse manger is not accepted for this assignment because the instructor would like you to obtain the experience that you will gain from performing the interview. When you are a nurse, you will be using your voice to communicate with patients and their families and with the healthcare interdisciplinary teams.

After the interview compare and contrast the information gathered from the charge nurse about the roles he or she performs with the roles of managers in your textbook.
