Any suggestions

Published

I have only been a nurse for three years and I'm already thinking about leaving the field.

I'm so frustrated. I feel and observe how overwhelmed nurses are. Most days I don't stop, and at the end of the day instead of feeling satisfied at all I have completed, I think of all the things I should have done. I keep coming up with the same solution to my problem. More support. I spend most of my day answering call bells, most which could have been handled by the tech. The nurses on my unit bare the brunt of their nursing duties plus do a majority of tech work. Does anyone work for a hospital that has had a solution to the age old problem of nurses feeling the techs don't carry their weight and the techs feeling it's the nurses job too.
