The purpose of this clinical study is to compare the use of an essential oil inhalation patch in medical surgical nurses on perceived burn-out and stress.
The main question is can essential oil inhalation patches decrease perceived burn-out and stress.
Participants will
* Take part in the study over 30 days, alternating weeks, resulting in each participant using six patches over six shifts.
