Answer:OMG every day we walk in the door can be a stressful situation. It all depends on the patient, the staff and mitigating circumstances. Some days are great, some just suck.
Nurses really put themselves at high risk for catching most everything the patients' may have that is contageous. Nurses work strange hours, often, and that is stressful...as the family life needs to be 'matched' to whatever schedule the nurse has been set up for.
Hi, I have been a nurse for 25 years and I could spend all day giving you examples of stressful situations.here are a few that come to mind...
First lets talk about the 'nursing' part.
If someone "codes" and you have to do CPR, this is very stressful.
If the patient wants one thing, and the family wants another thing as far as care, this can be very stressful.
Trying to get a hold of doctors when your patient has a life threatening situation can be stressful, especially when you are waiting for them to call you back and give you some direction and/or some orders.
Dealing with a patient that in noncompliant is also very stressful.
Dealing with a new nurse on the unit can be stressful.
