Divorce Rates in Nurses

Hello Nurses!


I am currently in nursing school and for one of my classes I am doing a survey on the divorce rates of nurses. I need your help! Everything will be anonymous on my report.


Please Answer the Following Questions:

• What is your usual shift time? Ex: 7a-7p, 7p-7a
• Are you divorced, single, or married?
• If you have been divorced, do you think the timeframe of your shift contributed to your eventual divorce?
• If you have been divorced, how many years were you married and working as a nurse before you got a divorce?

Thank you so much! The more that answer the better! Last edit by sirI on Nov 30, '14 : Reason: added surveymonkey link
How would we get this information to you? I'm guessing many people here may not want to talk about their marriage/divorce status out in open on the board. Maybe you should create a Survey Monkey survey?

I agree. Survey Monkey is a good idea.

Will do! I will post a link soon! Thank you for the imput!

Here is a survey for the previous post. Thank you!https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VWD7NM2

I also edited your 1st post to add the link.

You might be interested in the divorce rate for nursing students as well. I saw more breakups during school than I have seen since working.

I got divorced while in nursing school, remarried as a nurse and have been married since almost 7 years. I'm pretty sure night shifters do have a higher divorce rate.

Quote from sistrmoonI got divorced while in nursing school, remarried as a nurse and have been married since almost 7 years. I'm pretty sure night shifters do have a higher divorce rate.

Our nursing instructors said that 1/3 of us will get a divorce 1/3 of us will have an affair and 1/3 of us will get pregnant during nursing school. We had several divorces, steamy affairs, and baby showers to talk about. Those instructors knew what they were talking about.
