Running head: INTERVIEW SUMMARY 1 Interview Summary
Lori Sones
Ashworth College
NS310 Professional Issues in Nursing
June 2017 Interview Summary 2 Interview Summary
I chose to interview E.G., who was a surgical technician student I met in 1998. She
became an excellent Certified Surgical Technician [CST], and worked her way through nursing
school as a CST. She later obtained a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration,
before obtaining her Bachelor of Science in nursing in 2015.
E.G. has multiple degrees in the health care field. As a young lady, she entered the health
care field as a CST. While working evenings, and weekends, she attended nursing school during
the day. She graduated as a diploma degree registered nurse in 2005, and continued to work in
the operating room [OR] for several years. While working as an OR nurse, a surgical technician
instructor position became available at the college she attended as a CST student. She was hired
for this position, but to be an educator at the college, she had to earn a Bachelor of Science
degree within three years. Initially she was not interested in in pursuing a higher degree in
nursing, so she obtained her bachelor degree in health arts. She enjoys administrative duties as an
educator, and also enjoys working in the operating room. She felt that in order to get the best of
both worlds, she should obtain a master degree in healthcare administration. This would allow
for growth as an educator, or as an administrator at the college. She still enjoys working as an
OR nurse, but realizes that supervisor, and management positions are reserved for nurses with a
BSN or higher degree. Expanding her role into administration at the hospital was not an option
without a BSN, so she completed that in 2015.
When researching possible graduate programs, E,G. was hesitant to apply for a degree
program that was delivered virtually. At the time, these programs were new and not all Interview Summary 3 accredited. She attended King’s College in Wilkes Barre, PA., which was a traditional brick and
mortar school that was testing out delivery of some online courses. She traveled to school for
most of the courses, seventy miles one way. She was able to take advantage of some of the
distance learning courses, and some of the Saturday accelerated courses. It was important to her
that the school was accredited.
E.G. indicated that the major influence for her continued education was financial
motivation. She works for a college that offers fantastic benefits toward obtaining degrees. All
the courses that she takes at the college are free. Any courses that she pursues outside of the
college are reimbursed at 75%. In her mind, she feels that only a fool would pass up such a gift,
so she keeps on going. She is currently one third of the way complete with a doctorate degree in
healthcare administration, through Walden University. She had a tough time deciding which
university to choose. She is now raising twins, and needs the course work to be delivered 100%
online. The particular program she chose has two required residencies, which added to the
credibility. When asked if she would continue her education beyond a doctorate degree, she
stated that there was a good possibility.
