The study includes questions
about, work experience as a nurse, job-satisfaction, and support. Some
questions will ask you to rate your satisfaction from a scale of 1 to 5 where 1

Nursing Services Directorate establish and address all potential factors
associated with staff satisfaction and job mobility.
Participation is strictly voluntary,
and it should take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete the survey. The
questionnaire is completely anonymous and so any answers provided will remain
completely anonymous. The data is collected by a third party to enhance the anonymity

As a follow-up to this study, we

related to your experience and overall job satisfaction of nursing staff. Should you
