Transportation costs can have a direct impact on nurses in multiple ways:
1. Financial Burden: Nurses who use their own vehicles for work-related travel may face significant out-of-pocket expenses for fuel, maintenance, and insurance. 2. Time Management: Time spent traveling between locations can reduce the time available for patient care, potentially affecting job performance and satisfaction. 3. Safety Concerns: Frequent travel, especially in adverse weather conditions or unsafe areas, can pose safety risks for nurses.
