Using present literature and current research as the basis the aim of the Bachelor´s thesis was to create a simple and easily understandable booklet for commuting nurses and for ways to improve well-being at work.

The aim of this thesis was to make known the work of nurses who travel for their jobs and to point out the characteristics related to this topic. One of the purposes of the thesis was to call attention to the various options that nurses have concerning working environments and possibilities to travel long distances to work. The booklet handled ways in which a nurse can cope with problems related to commuting long distances. One of the objectives was also to investigate how to improve well-being at work when the workplace changes from city to city on a regular basis.

The theoretical part covered the well-being at work of traveling nurses and features affecting it. The topic for the thesis came from a collaborating private clinic specializing in ocular surgery. The booklet was produced for nurses working at these centers for ocular surgery and it was also introduced to the employees. An online version of the booklet is also available for future reference.
