I am doing some (nonacademic) research on the reasons why nurses are leaving their chosen profession. I know there has been much discussion on the many issues (salary, benefits, hours, working conditions, etc.), but I am interested in hearing the emotional side of making the decision to leave. I know many have become disillusioned w/the quality of their work and their lives now, which may be much different from when they started nursing. I've contacted some of the BB readers, but for others who would be willing to answer a few questions/share their stories (anonymously, of course), please contact me. Thank you!
