For many nurses, the major issues they have with their work has nothing to do with the patients, their co-workers or even the pay.  Some simply don’t like the idea of shift work, which is similar to retail and other service industries in providing ample hours, but often without a rhyme or reason to the schedule.

Since nursing can be one of the more stressful occupations, any way that nursing jobs can minimize that will benefit nurses themselves.  And for many, a cost effective option might be to pursue continuing education courses paid for by their employers.
