I am conducting a research project about nurses and their jobs for my Ap Research course. I would appreciate if you could fill out these survey questions.
1. What type of nurse are you?
2. What type of medical setting do you work in?
3. Is your place of work urban or rural?
4. What unit or section of the hospital do you work in?
5. How long is your usual shift?
6. How many patients are you usually assigned on a shift?
7. Do you feel like you can properly manage your number of patients?
8. Does the number of patients you are assigned increase beyond safe levels due to nursing shortages?
9. What number of patients do you think is a safe amount?
10. To what extent does the patient to nurse ratio affect how you provide safe patient care?
11. How often does having a high patient to nurse ratio affect you completing the necessary patient care tasks?
12. How often do you feel patient safety is endangered due to staffing levels?
