Long commuting times can have several negative effects on nurses. These include:
Increased Stress: Spending more time on the road can lead to higher levels of stress, which can affect a nurse's performance and patient care. Fatigue: Long commutes can result in less sleep and more fatigue, impacting a nurse's ability to function effectively during their shift. Decreased Job Satisfaction: Prolonged commuting times can make nurses feel less satisfied with their jobs, leading to higher turnover rates.
