The Problem Of Emergency Nurses - 838 Words

Description of the Problem Emergency nurses in this society is now faced with a rising dilemma of increased dissatisfaction in their work and their role as a caregiver.

The need to identify such rising difficulty can be addressed through scrutinizing the relationship of effort against authority. Effort arrangement is created for the purpose of alienating itself from the definition of â€Å"Work Engagement.† There is a need to acknowledge both terms as one and the same and for the purpose of this paper, the term â€Å"Effort Arrangement† is coined.
