When work isn't fun: how to endure the unenjoyable.
1. Learning to expect and adapt to unpleasant tasks and to cope with difficult days is important for satisfactory adjustment in nursing. 2. Feelings of unhappiness with work may be related to either internal or external events, such as low self-esteem or a verbal attack by a colleague. 3. An attitude of enjoyment enhances not only personal feelings of well-being but also promotes physical health both in the nurse and her patients. 4. The use of humor, focusing on the positive, talking about unenjoyable tasks, and concentrating on bringing happiness to others all help to promote a feeling of enjoyment in the workplace.
