Abstract

Today is a challenging time for hospitals and nurse managers. Times of nursing shortage and the presence of more critically ill patients demand creative strategies. A clinical ladder helps managers hire and retain nurses. More importantly, it encourages perioperative nurses to advance their skills, making them better prepared to care for the seriously ill surgical patient in a safe, effective, and efficient manner.

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.
