I'm kind of disappointed, I'd expect RN to be included. Then again as a nurse working on a medical psychiatric unit, my job is more intense then med-surg, ob/gyn, and subacute. I'd like to see someone else try to set up an IV drip on a pregnant, intoxicated, schizophrenic who's soiling herself, yelling in your ear and flailing in 5 point restraints, but that's just one bad scenario that happens during your 12 hour shift.

Hey Donna I have to agree with you and let me take a wild guess you are either an Officer or a Dispatcher. I am currently A Police Dispatcher in Miami Fl who just graduated from the Police Academy. Trust me I know how stressful it could be. I agree that Teachers,Air Techs,Doctors,Paramedics,Military personnel, etc deal with alot of stress. Just a reminder to everyone who reads this message be positive and lets all thank god for what we have.

This is not a competition rather a way to be informed. If you are not confident and knowlegable in your job then you will be "stressed" no matter what job you have. Stress is just a way to say that in ones opinion you have several details to handle. I am a pilot and have hundreds/thousands of peoples lives in my hand every time I take off. This is not stressfull to me. I am confident in my understanding of my job. If having peoples lives in your hands is "stressfull" then you have no business being in that career choice. Stress is only what you percieve to be a difficult issue in your life. Everyone must deal with their insecurities in their knowledge of their duties. Go learn more, get confident, and do something you enjoy. You all know what is involved with your career before you get in it. Ignorance is no excuse in this day and age.
