Uninformed absenteeism among nurses seems to be a multidimensional occurrence and is a cause of distress that affects the day-to-day managing of staff schedules, eventually compromising safe and effective healthcare delivery. This study has aimed to determine the other reasons for absenteeism from work among nurses. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to conduct this study for around three months beginning on 16 September 2021- 26 November 2021. A total of 70 nurses working in different units of the hospital were selected through the non-probability convenience method. The majority of nurses i.e. 60% rated the ineffective policy of sick leaves as the most common reason for absenteeism from work and 55% graded nurse-to-patient ratio amongst the leading causes, other reasons reported were delay in payback and/or denial of overtime payment, lack of policies lack of motivation and inspiration, etc. In conclusion to the findings of this article, there is a dire need to find a solution to the reasons that lead to absence from work.
