This Qualitative research utilized in-depth-interview among 8 participants.

Results revealed that lack of facilities and an unfriendly environment such as the weather, noise, and facilities and equipment are some of the difficulties encountered by the participants. Being resourceful is one of the adjustments they made regarding environmental factors. On the other hand, in organizational factors, understaffing and nurses’ burnouts are some challenges the participants encountered, thus, having a functional organizational structure is one of the adaptations they made.
