Education and Job Satisfaction in Nursing

I found an article relating the level of nursing education to the level of job satisfaction and job retention among the nursing profession. The article looks at four nurse educators who recently won an award for writing a journal article back in 2005.

It was published in Sigma Theta Tau’s Journal of Nursing Scholarship under the title “Education as a Determinant of Career Retention and Job Satisfaction Among Registered Nurses.” The study compared RNs from Associates Degree programs to 4 year BSN programs, looking at their overall job satisfaction and their career retention. The conclusion of the article was that students graduating from a BSN program were more likely to be happy in their jobs and to stay in the nursing career field.

Check it out for yourself and let me know what your impressions are. You can comment using the link below or send me an email here at the Nursing Show at comments@nursingshow.com.
