Study Summary

Background: Nursing is a high-stress job. It can be physically and mentally taxing. Nurses can have health problems due to long work hours, stressful work environments, and shift work. Fatigue is common among registered nurses (RNs). It has been linked with job burnout, missing work, injuries at work, and reduced job performance. Fatigue in RNs has been studied, but researchers want to learn more about it. Objectives: To learn more about how fatigue affects registered nurses. Eligibility: RNs at least 18 years old who work at NIH Design: Part 1: All RNs at the NIH will be invited to participate in an anonymous online survey. They will answer questions about their jobs and fatigue. Part 2: Fatigue levels in a small group of RNs will be evaluated more closely. They will be screened with questions by phone or in person. They will be asked about their work schedule, ability to speak and read English, and general health. Participants in Part 2 of the study will have 3 study visits. -Visit 1 will be at least 48 hours after the last time the participant worked. Participants will fast before the visit. They will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will receive a food diary and a sleep watch and diary. They will wear the watch and complete the diaries for 1 week. Participants will answer questions on an iPad 2 times a day for 4 days. The first day will be when they complete visit 1. They then will do this for 3 workdays in a row. This will be right before and after work on those days. Questions will test their thinking and ask about their feelings. * Visit 2 will be right after finishing 3 work days in a row. Participants will have blood pressure and blood samples taken. * Visit 3 will be 1 week after finishing the diaries. Participants will return the sleep watch, iPad, and diaries A dietician may ask them questions about the food diary.
