As a newbie, I have noticed in several threads that many of you have expressed feeling burnt out from working as a nurse. I would like to know the answers to the following 10 questions from those of you who feel burnt out:
1. In which area of nursing are you working (OB, L&D, ICU, ER, Med/Surg, Peds, Hospice, etc.)?
2. Do you work at a hospital? If not, in what type of facility do you work?
3. Are you working as a nurse AND in school at the same time? If so, which scenario fits you: work FT, school FT? work FT, school PT? work PT, school FT? work PT, school PT?
4. How many hours a week do you work?
5. What type of shifts do you work?
6. Are you married or single?
7. Do you have children? If so, how many?
8. What age group do you fit in?:
18-22
23-27
28-32
33-37
38-42
43-47
48-52
53+
9. Are you physically fit and eat a healthy diet (all the time, most of the time, sometimes, never)?
10. What do you believe is the main factor that is causing you to feel burnt out?
Thanks in advance!!! :)
