Contemporary Long-Term Care Weekly, August 28, 2008

The results from the first national study of nursing assistants working in nursing facilities in the United States are now available online.
 
The study, conducted in 2004 and 2005 by the Division of Health Care Statistics of the National Center for Health Statistics, surveyed about 5,000 nursing assistants about several aspects of their work, including job satisfaction, working conditions, training, and personal or family demands.

According to the survey, nursing assistants named problems with coworkers, workload, and problems with supervisors or nurses as the top reasons for disliking their jobs.
