A new study of nurses who work directly with patients found 24 percent of nurses in hospitals and 27 percent of those in nursing homes were dissatisfied with work, compared with 13 percent of front-line nurses in other settings, according to a report by Physorg.
The study, in the journal Health Affairs, also found nearly 41 percent of all front-line nurses were dissatisfied with their healthcare benefits — more than double the rate of nurses in other settings.
Broken down, 41 percent of hospital nurses and 51 percent of nursing-home nurses were dissatisfied with healthcare benefits. Also, nearly 60 percent of nurses in nursing homes and half of nurses in hospitals are dissatisfied with retirement benefits.
