Nursing Leadership Interview:
You will select and interview (in person, face to face) a nursing leader relevant to the designated specialty role of choice (e.g. Nursing Director, Nursing Professor, Nurse Entrepreneur, etc.) that would hire a BSN prepared nurse. Both the assignment-required questions, as well as critically developed questions of your own creation will be incorporated.
