Common Challenges in Nursing

Like all careers, Nursing comes with both its rewards and its challenges. These challenges are physical, mental, and emotional. I have linked below an article written by the Indeed Editorial Team that outlines eight of the most common challenges reported by nurses. These include:

• Long shifts that can be physically and mentally taxing

• Irregular schedules

• Seeing patients suffer

• Physical demands such as repositioning patients or standing for long periods

• Exposure to illness and chemicals

• Mandatory overtime because of nursing shortages

• Frequent changes in technology

• Poor treatment from patients

This is a concise, yet detailed article which I recommend to anyone wondering if nursing is the right career for them.
