International Nurses Association

Do you ever wonder what your patients actually think of you or the other nurses? A survey was done to ask that very question of patients in various hospitals around the country. Answers are by patients. Do you think most nurses enjoy doing what they are doing? -           I think about 80 percent do. I think a few are burnt out and should consider retiring.   -           I think about 60 percent do. I think some nurses have a desire to be a doctor instead, but needed to cut the education time down. -           I believe 95 percent of all nurses love their jobs. Would you rather have a male or female nurse? -           Being female, I always preferred a female nurse.  As I’ve gotten older it does not matter. -           No difference to me at all -           I think because I’m male, a male nurse would be more in touch with my issues. When hospitalized, how would you rate your treatment by the nurses on a scale of 1-10, 10 being highest? -           9- The nur
