I am interviewing any type of nurse manager for a paper I am writing for a leadership course. I recently found this site and it seems to be a good place to talk to nurses, so I figured I would give it a try. If any one wants to answer the questions I would like to know what type of manager and maybe what state if its alright. Also all questions don't have to be answered. I'm looking forward to interacting with other nurses on this site.
Thanks, James
