Stress

Dear RNs

HELP A STRESSED OUT STUDENT...

I am a student and need to submit a research study before I can graduate. I did my study on stress and its affects on RNs (that way I know what to look forward to!).

I need to send the following survey to RNs across the United States, if you can paste this and email it to me at any of the following locations that would be great!!! NO NAMES, EMAIL ADD OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WILL BE IN THE STUDY IT IS CONFIDENTIAL.
