My team has nine technicians, so there are nine technicians calling me all the time, plus doctors, plus patients, plus the routines I have to do as a nurse. It’s busy and stressful [...] (W † 11, F ‡ . 30 years old) [...] We’re under a lot of pressure for things that are not our fault. It’s a cultural thing. Because we’re on the front line, we’ve always been. Nurses are always in the spotlight and under pressure. We’re the people responsible for care [...] (W † 12, F ‡ . 40 years old)	[...] we have to be able to prioritize and give attention [to the family] but I sometimes end up taking it [work-related stress] home. Sometimes I’m on the run, my children come to me, but I keep saying: “I’ll get back to you, mom’s coming” and I can’t go [...] (W † 9, F ‡ . 39 years old) [...] I’m a mother. I have a baby at home.

You have to work in two, three places to get paid a little better (W † 29, M § . 42 years old)
