Nurse Burnout/Suicide

frickeca594 · May 16, 2017

Hello my name is Cameron Fricke, I am a Highschool student at Byron P. Steele II in Cibolo TX. I have spent the past academic year doing a study into nurse burnout/suicide and what can be done to prevent it. I am near completing my project but would like to have a brief survey taken to have direct recent data related to the topic. I am looking to get any help that I would truly appreciate if you could take ten minutes out of your hectic day to respond to the survey below. I truly hope you're willing to help me.
