What Are Common Challenges to Achieving Job Satisfaction?
Several challenges can hinder nurse job satisfaction, including:
1. Staffing Shortages: Chronic understaffing can lead to increased stress and burnout. 2. Workplace Violence: Nurses are often at risk of verbal or physical abuse, which can severely impact their mental health and job satisfaction. 3. Lack of Autonomy: Nurses value the ability to make decisions about patient care. Restrictions on their autonomy can lead to frustration. 4.
