Working Conditions for Registered Nurses

     ¹The working conditions for registered nurses (RNs) vary and contain some risks. ²Most registered nurses (RNs) work in well-lighted, comfortable healthcare facilities. ³Home health and public health nurses travel to patients' homes, schools, community centers, and other sites. ⁴Nurses may spend considerable time walking and standing. ⁵Patients in hospitals and nursing care facilities require 24-hour care; consequently, nurses in these institutions may work nights, weekends, and holidays. ⁶RNs also may be on call—available to work on short notice. ⁷Office, occupational health, and public health nurses are more likely to work regular business hours. ⁸More than 1 in 5 RNs worked part time in 2002 and nearly 1 in 10 held more than one job. ⁹Nursing has its hazards, especially in hospitals, nursing care facilities, and clinics, where nurses may care for individuals with infectious diseases. ¹⁰Nurses must observe rigid standardized guidelines to guard against disease and other dangers, such as those posed by radiation, accidental needle sticks, chemicals used to sterilize instruments, and anesthetics. ¹¹In addition, they are vulnerable to back injury when moving patients, shocks from electrical equipment, and hazards posed by compressed gases.
