Various incidence of poor job performance among nurses has been observed over the years. It was discovered that one of the major causes is their family make-up, in which many of them belong to commuter family, where their spouses reside in a different geographical location. It is a social problem in the nursing profession where family burdens are solely carried by one person, that leads to stress and fatigue with poor attitude. This book reveals that majority of the nurses commute and the identified challenges include stress, psychological effect, children at risk, distractions at work, less punctuality, a lot of anomalies at work, down grading from a senior cadre to a lower one. Incidence of commuting life style among nurses is high and it is stressful both physically and psychologically which in turn influence nurses job performance directly or indirectly. This book is a must read for health workers, psychologists and other individuals whose nature of work makes commuting life style unavoidable. Hospital management and Government officials involved in transfer of service and policy making would also find the book helpful.
