Pre-Interview

I have chosen to interview my sister who has been a registered nurse since 2019. I am choosing to interview her for this assignment because I feel we had similar qualities growing up, and I feel it will be interesting to see how she has grown from these into a leader today. Some qualities we have shared that are not characteristic of a strong leader include timidness and being a “push-over”. I have seen us both grow out of these to some extent, but watching her grow during her first years as a nurse has been inspiring. Her informal leadership skills that she exhibited since being hired included being a strong advocate for her patient and always ensuring other staff had the help they needed. She has since had the opportunity to demonstrate formal leadership as a charge nurse for the unit. I am most interested in learning how she has been able to have this self-growth that makes her such a strong patient advocate and valuable member of the healthcare team, about any internal or external obstacles she has faced, and about any advice she has.

  1. Excellent Daisy! Having someone close to you that has just experienced this transition and is now a leader on the unit is such a special opportunity for you to learn and grow yourself.
