Hope everyone is looking forward to a well deserved relaxing weekend.

Recent,y I have been having discussions with many nurses across the TB world and many seem stretched to the limit with little recognition of all that goes into managing TB , yet we are very passionate about our work and love what we do in this unique niche in nursing.

That has lead me on a fact finding mission and I would like to pose three questions to all of the NTNC members out there.

1. How long have you worked in TB?  A little over a year.
2. What is your biggest stressor working in TB? (Ex. no staff, no training)   Lack of staff and no one or current policy/procedure to look to for direction on how things were done previously.  Unfamiliar with the EHR
3. What gives you the most joy from working in TB?  Helping patients progress, seeing them get well and complete treatment. Assisting those who are in need of other assistance. 

Thanks for assisting me in this inquiry
