Stressed out? Relieve the pressure here!

We have all the stresses the rest of the world has and then some! Here are some of the things that cause nurses stress:

• The critical nature of our work with its potential for serious injury to others if we are careless for even a moment.
  
  
• Staffing shortages requiring us to care for more patients with less help.
  
  
• Working double shifts or returning to work 8 hours after our shift ends to meet the needs.
  
  
• Inadequate rest because of working rotating schedules so that our bodies have difficulty knowing when to sleep.
  
  
• Working closely with deadly diseases. Knowing that an accidental needle-stick or body fluid splash can easily infect us.
  
  
• Struggling with aches and pains from lifting and pulling on patients.
  
  
• Seeing some of our co-workers permanently disabled because of on the job back injuries.
  
  
• Watching people suffer. Being in the front lines of human need. Coping with family grief.
  
  
• Losing patients we've grown close to in death.
  
  
• Touching, bathing, applying dressings and wound care to those who are indecent toward us.
  
  
• Giving physical care to those who are physically unclean.
  
  
• Job layoffs, mergers, company failures, job insecurity.
  
  
• Difficulties with co-workers or supervisors.
  
  
• Unfair evaluations or expectations.
  
  
• Lack of experience or knowledge in some areas of our nursing practice.
  
  
• Potential for lawsuits.
