What areas should I work in if I want to become a nurse who works in the LEAST most stressful areas?

Isreal Kochheiser: All area of nursing have some degree of stress, but I would agree with the other answer posted...in a private practice would most likely be the least amount of stress. Women's Health deals with stressful situations all the time, whether in a women's surgical unit or a labor and delivery unit. My best friend worked in labor and delivery while pregnant and had to deal with the death of a newborn infant...talk about stress. It all depends too which area of labor and delivery you are working in...if you are not on a high-risk unit, the stress would be less and the outcomes are great! Good luck!...Show more

Cliff Tyre: An office. It's still very stressful, but its not as bad as the hospital. Try family practice or dermatology.
