Post 6.

1. Research questions-

I'm not too sure yet what I want my research to be exactly. I know the themes I'd like to focus on are status, emotional labor, the service economy and gender. My friend is a male and a nurse so it would be interesting to see how his gender affects him at work since it's "tradionally" a "female" job. He also does comedy as a side job so I want to see if I could somehow connect his having two jobs to the themes we've worked on in class.


2. Interview questions-

How has your opinion changed about the job?
How had your status in your family changed?
How has your status in society changed?
Do you see a difference in your status as an LPN and a comedian?
What do you do in your downtime?
Does your job affect your everyday life?
What's your daily work routine?
How do your patients make you feel?
Were you trained to handle personal relationships with patients?
What was your familys work life like?
Would you do anything differently?
Do you feel appreciated?
How was the process of finding a job?
How would you describe your experience with doctors?
Do you think the healthcare system works?
What is your workplace like?
Are there any restrictions in your job?

  1. Great questions. I love the idea that nursing and comedy might be connected!

    One thing: if somebody asked me about my 'status in society,' I might shut down. Is there another way to ask this question that's more open-ended and inviting?

  2. I'm stunned silent at these questions...
    Do you have straight A's?!

    I was going to suggest a question in response to the professor, but why do I get the feeling that you already figured it out?! lol
