Although nursing is engaging and rewarding, it does come with challenges. It is a demanding profession that requires your dedication and commitment to provide safe patient care for those who have entrusted their lives to your hospital. Your career may be intertwined with some of the same problems healthcare providers have been struggling with for years. However, these four challenges are critical to your future and your safety.

You likely have encountered a physician who frustrates or irritates you, so much so you want to pull out your hair or scream out loud. Although it may feel good in the short-term to lose your temper and start yelling, in the long term it only creates problems at work with your patients and may mean you lose your job.

Nurses often refer to their profession as a calling, or a deep desire to devote themselves to serving others. However, when your job or career is also calling, it’s easy to overlook balancing your own work and life, and quickly become burned out. Sometimes it’s difficult for per diem nursing staff to achieve balance when you’re overwhelmed by the demands of the job, erratic work schedules and just the inability to say “no” when someone asks for help.
