What Topics Would You Like to Know More About???

[tnbutterfly - Mary]

We have done many surveys in the recent past on Ebola, Nursing Salaries, and other topics. But now we want to hear from YOU. What topics would you like to know more about.....what are other nurses are thinking?

allnurses is a place for nurses to share their thoughts and opinions. A place where nurses' voices can be heard. This is your chance to let us know what you want to talk about as we are planning for upcoming monthly surveys.

Please post your ideas for monthly survey topics as well as what questions you would like to have included in the surveys.

Thanks for your input!

Here are couple more relevant questions:

Are you taking an anti anxiety or antidepressant to help you cope with the stress in your workplace related to under staffing?

Have you ever been injured on the job due to under staffing?

It would be a good idea to use some kind of alert, not email notification, in order to receive a large sample. Thank you.

What kind of alert are you referring to? We are open to suggestions.

We received more than 18,000 responses to the last survey, which is outstanding participation. We posted it on facebook as well as here on the site.

I like the big red bar across the top when using the mobile site and getting alerts about PMs and the like. Why not do the same for surveys but in a different, still noticeable color? Distinguishes it from the alerts users may already get, could be universal for everyone, including non-members, and stands out.

How about, cultural competency?

I think reading some of the posts about posters own culture shock when starting out in nursing, I am curious as to what nurses have learned, what they have experienced, and whether they had a cultural competency class and have applied it, or desire learning more about cultural competency.

Also surveys about patient safety-errors and near misses and how their jobs handled it-whether it be educational reinforcement or termination.

I would also like to see surveys about disability; disabled nurses who are working and how many are currently working in nursing or out of nursing.

We have used that alert system in the past surveys. Members complained because they did not see it and therefore didn't participate in the survey. We are using a number of ways to alert folks including an announcement thread, notification in the black bar at the top of every page, email blasts, facebook, twitter.

We are hoping that since we are doing more surveys, members will be on the lookout for them.
