The American Association of Critical Care Nurses issued these stats this year.
I found them astounding. Thought you might want to know what some of your nursing friends experience:
64% of nurses reported having experienced verbal abuse in the workplace (I assume mostly from MD's)
22% have reported physical abuse on the job
20% of nurses have been sexually harassed at work
AND YET... 88% of nurses would recommend their profession to someone else!
Guess that says something about the rewards that come from caring for people.
About Me
- by Jessica Scott
- Atlanta, GA, United States
- I'm a southern girl who is a trauma critical care, turned Haitian orthopedic, turned hospice nurse who just finished NP school. I love singing and talking to interesting people. Haiti cured my Diet Coke addiction and caused me to finally confess that I am, in fact, a cat person. "Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly."
