Comparison of Job Satisfaction in Licensed Practical Nurses Working with Team Nursing versus Primary Nursing

摘要

A strong correlation has been found between turnover rates and job satisfaction. A satisfied employee is more likely to contribute to improved delivery of health care as well as increased length of employment. The hypothesis is that job satisfaction will be more positive for LPN's practicing Primary Nursing than for LPN's practicing Team Nursing. The data from a descriptive survey was evaluated to determine if method of care delivery caused a difference in the perception of job satisfaction for the LPN's of Gainesville, VAMC Nursing Service. A significant difference was found in overall job satisfaction between the NHCU LPN's and the acute care facility LPN's and the hypothesis was supported.
