Overall reaction of my interview.
My interview with an RN whose been a good friend of the family went very well. I got a real good picture of what it is like to be a nurse. I learned a lot about the field that I didn't know before. She told me that it takes a certain person to be a nurse and it may not be the career for everybody. It's not going to be an easy career, but then it becomes more of a challenge. I can't wait til the day that I can start my career as a nurse and get to experience what Victoria does every day on the job.
Visuals.
This video will enhance my final paper because it's a video on a day in the nursing field and gives a lot of good information about what to expect and what it's like to be on the job.
This video will enhance my final paper becaused it's a video that describes all of the positives of becoming a nurse and what you will get out of it.

Annotated Bibliography.
"Advice for Nursing Students." Confessions of a Registered Nurse. Microsoft, 2010. Web. 7 Apr 2010.
-- This is a blog by Katie. She's currently a Pediactric Nurse. She gives a lot of information in her about me section.One important piece of information in her about me section is where she says that she went from 0 experience to being an RN in 12 months with a bachelors degree. In her blog, she gives some good advice to current nursing students. A few bits of her advice are to be prepared to work hard and to ask a lot of questions. This seems like a very credible and resourceful blog to get information from about this profession. She provides a lot of useful information to others.
Career Cruising. “Registered Nurse Job Description.”Careercruising.com (2010). Web. 7 Apr 2010.
--This is a website I found on Career Cruising. It tells exactly what an RN is and what the job description is. It also tells about earnings, education, and working conditions of the job. It's a credible source because it's coming from the yavapai college website and it has a lot of credible, resourceful information. This website also contains personal interviews with current RN's and they answer some very helpful questions about the likes/dislikes of the job.
"Nursing World." American Nurses Association. The American Nurses Association Inc., 2010. Web. 7 Apr 2010.
-- This is a website called the American Nurses Assocation. This website is the largest nursing organization in the United States. I think this is a credible source because it has a lot of resourceful information on the careers and credentials of nursing, the nursing practice itself, ethics, health care policies, government affairs, and the environment. There is a section of facts, questions, and answers. There is a section just for its viewers on nursing and why it should be considered. This is a helpful webpage because it includes just about everything A-Z about the nursing practice.
"Registered Nurse." Web Site for Registered Nurses. Wikipedia, 4 Apr 2010. Web. 7 Apr 2010.
--This is a website which tells about RN's and what their job expectations are to be. I have considered becoming an RN and I think this website will be helpful in providing me some resourceful information on it. This website gives information on other types of nursing positions such as a second level or a specialist nurse. It gives information on education and training and the types of degrees which are available. It also includes the controversy going on with the nursing shortages.
Interview... Coming soon :]

This is from the YC library website under Career Cruising. It's an interview with a current RN Lisa. There are a lot of good questions and answers about this field. She also tells about her likes and her dislikes of the job. She even has a section called a day in the life where she gives a timeline of her day and what she does. I think this is really helpful because it shows from a current RN's perspective of how the job really is and what the good and bad points of it are.

Future Career.
The career I am thinking about pursuing is nursing. As of right now, I do not know the specific type of nursing I am thinking about going into. I do have a few ideas in mind though. I’m looking into maybe becoming an RN or an OBGYN. From when I first started high school, I’ve always wanted to be a nurse. I’m a very caring person and I love helping people. It’s a good feeling when you know you helped someone. With how the economy is right now it’s so hard to find a job anywhere, but when you’re a nurse you’re almost always guaranteed a job somewhere. It’s a field that pays well, offers all different kinds of jobs, and even traveling. Most nurses will work twelve hour shifts a few days out of the week. It takes a certain person to be a nurse. You have to have a lot of compassion and care for people and you have to be extremely dedicated to the job. This is a career that requires dedication, compassion, and a whole lot of caring. It’s not a career for everyone, but anyone is capable of acquiring the skills needed to become a nurse.
