Job Satisfaction in Nursing related to Generational age differences in free-Standing clinics and physician offices.
What is the relationship between generational age and job satisfaction in nursing and what measures are already put in place and can be added to meet higher satisfaction needs?
Going by the rate of drop out within nursing courses and the early retirement of nurses to other professions, specifically the IT and other technology oriented courses, the generational change and the generational difference has contributed a lot to the shift away from nursing related courses and careers. The Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Y have differing interests, some based around technology. Because Generation X makes up a quarter of the nursing population, it is important to meet their demands as they will soon become the majority population of nurses. Since the Baby Boomers nurses already have high job satisfaction, more focused should be placed on Generations X and Y which are not receiving the same level of satisfaction. Generations X and Y will be more prone to go for job opportunities outside nursing if their needs are not met.
The target participants will be as follows:
