5 Reasons Nurses Want to Leave Your Hospital –

Jen nurses really are all-over caregivers...I can truly feel their outcry they offer so much more than just taking a temperature, or giving a vaccine. Nurses today are under tremedous stress. I can really feel the tension if they wanted to leave.
KUDOS to you and other nurses!!!

Miisrael God Bless YOU! You don't realize that at this moment, I've facing many stressors related to my work. I met with my mgr yesterday for something unrelated but while meeting with her, she talked to me about my sick calls. When asked what she could do to help me, I told her that changing my hours would be a great help. By the Grace of God, I'll be going to a casual or per diem schedule by Sept 7th! I have to see the Occupational Health Nurse this Friday to talk to her about my stress as well as give her my sick note from my doctor. In the meanwhile, I've been seeing someone that I've contacted thru the Employee Assistance Program sponsored by my workplace. Nurses need help, too!

@ Saint,

Thanks for your kind comments and you're so right about the stress generated from working at the frontline of health care. As nurses, we endure so much but when it comes down to it--- we are human just like anyone else. I may be rare in that I've sought out the needed resources (that we often tell our patients to seek) that many don't take advantage of. Many of my colleagues think they have to be everything to everybody which is UNREALISTIC!! I know many nurses who work a minmum of two jobs inorder to make the ends meet. Little do they know that the ends never meet and so its this continuous, never ending cycle of "robbing Peter to pay Paul". The more that people make, the more they spend as is the case with my nursing colleagues.
