Nurse Job Satisfaction: Can it Contribute to Nurse Retention for Healthcare Facilities
The healthcare administration concern that this paper address is the retention of registered nurses and some factors that impede the retention of registered nurses. Registered nurses are a vital part of the healthcare industry. Issues such as staffing, unsafe nurse-to-patient ratios, nurse burnout, and sometimes low job satisfaction can contribute to nurses leaving a healthcare organization, bedside nursing, or the nursing profession altogether. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to decreased job satisfaction for nurses, among increased stress. Studies show that more needs to be done to help nurses. This help includes safe nurse-to-patient ratios, good benefits, work-life balance, and continuing education to help nurses enhance their careers and reduce the burnout that they are feeling. Supporting nurses can contribute to nurse retention within an organization.
