Job Satisfaction Rating

Nurses General Nursing

Published

:idea: Hey, I'm wondering what the level of job satisfaction is of those of you reading this. If you feel like it, answer two really quick questions:

1. What is your current level of job satisfaction on a scale of 1-10. I'd say a one means you are chomping at the bit to find greener pastures, dread going to work every day, hate it, hate it, hate it. About a 5, maybe you are wishing you were somewhere else, but wondering, "Is the grass always greener...?" Hate it some days, kind of like it other. A 10, you LOVE your job, no plans to leave, happy, happy to go to work every day. Etc, etc. You don't have to explain, just give a #.

2. In what area of nursing are you working?

Me: 6.5, cardiac surgery icu.

This week about 4.5. But I'm tired and feel I am not contributing much to anything. I do computer based education and coordinate our new grad program.

Me.......about a 7.5..... I suppose.

work on a medical step-down ICU unit (5yrs now)

I really love what I do and am very good at it. But there is so much room for improvement on the unit that would make it more pleasant. I keep telling myself that I can make a difference. (been offered a "position" on the floor to start this OCT.) I think that is why I stay, to try to make it better for the employee's and Patients most of all. My normal co-workers are GREAT also.

And no, the grass isn't always greener on the other side..I don't have to leave my floor to know that:eek:

5.5

Med surg telemetry by way of hospital owned agency

Like hospital work, like making my own schedule

Tired of bureaucracy, tired of pt families whining, tired of being short staffed and having to beat the pharmacy to death to bring up meds.

Basically, I'm in a state of wishing my fairy godmother would come and give me a freaking fortune so I could quit work. I think I would hold my license and keep up with things, but would not work again as a full time permanant thing.
