Running head: REFLECTION PAPER1
Notes from Interview
1. How important is networking?
“Some form of networking is important, whether it is attending a seminar, working on a committee, or simply connecting with a colleague. It is important to remember to connect with people not for what you can gain from them (as far as job connect) but from genuine relationship that develop with each other.”
2. What is your educational background?
“I have a bachelor’s degree in nursing, a master’s degree in nursing, and a post-master’s certificate degree as a nurse practitioner- psychiatric.”
3. What were some of the biggest challenges?
“Some of the biggest challenges include managing my time to allow myself to see all of the patients on my caseload for the day. Also, it is difficult to maneuver some of the restrictions imposed by the state board of nurse practitioners that prevent me from initiating pick up orders for clients who are non-compliant with court ordered mandates. In these situations, a psychiatrist has to be the professional initiating a pick up order despite not knowing the client because my scope of responsibilities does not allow me to use my professional opinion in this regard.”
4. What advice do you have for building relationships and trust in an organization?
