Abstract

Certification is a growing area of nursing that allows nurses the ability to attain additional credentials in their specialty. While certification has been present for many years in some professions, it is relatively new in nursing. There are many reasons to obtain certification, but the overwhelming one is personal satisfaction and professional growth. Suggestions for selecting a certification test and guides to prepare for the exam are provided in this article as well as suggestions for employers to reward employees for attainment of certification.

The role of job satisfaction, job dissatisfaction and demographic factors on physicians' intentions to switch work sector from public to private.

This study is based on a unique data set for the years 1988-2003 and uses structural equation models to examine the impact of job satisfaction and job dissatisfaction on physicians' intention to switch from public- to private-sector work. In Finland, physicians who work primarily in a public-hospital or health-centre setting can also run a private practice. Therefore, we also analysed the impact of having a private practice on a physician's intention to change sector. We found that private practice had a positive, statistically significant effect on the intention to switch sector in 1998 and 2003. Results also suggest that job satisfaction decreases a physician's intention to switch sector, although for 1998 it had no effect. Surprisingly, job dissatisfaction significantly increased the physicians' intentions to leave the public sector only in the 1988 data.
