The initial incentives for conducting this research were the alarming amount of dissatisfaction expressed by nurses about their profession, the increase amount of turnovers in the profession of nursing and the decrease amount of people choosing nursing as a profession. It had been suggested in previous studies that flextime could influence the level of job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of job satisfaction between full-time registered professional staff nurses who work the twelve hour shift with full time registered professional staff nurses who work the traditional eight hour shift; and to compare the levels of job satisfaction between full time registered professional staff nurses who work the day shift with full time registered professional staff nurses who work the night shift. The hypothesis used in this study were that full time registered professional staff nurses who work the twelve hour shift would have a higher level of job satisfaction than full time registered professional staff nurses who work the eight hour shift and full time registered professional staff nurses who work the day shift would have a higher level of job satisfaction than full time registered professional staff nurses who work the night shift. The level of job satisfaction was measured by scores in Brayfield and Rothe's Index of Job Satisfaction as well as turnover and sick call rates, The Index of Job Satisfaction which measures satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and has been used widely in previous studies, was distributed to forty full time registered professional nurses working in a staff capacity. Fifty percent of the participants worked the eight hour shift and fifty percent worked the twelve hour shift. Half of the population worked the day shift and half the night shift. The response rate was 100%. The hypothesis that full time registered professional staff nurses working the twelve hour shift would have a higher level of job satisfaction than full time registered professional staff nurses working the eight hour shift was proven null. The second hypothesis was weakly supported. Full time registered professional staff nurses working the day shift had a higher level of job satisfaction than full time registered professional staff nursing working the night shift but the difference was not significant at a significance level of .0S. The results of this research project are open to varying interpretations because of some discrepancies seen in the demographic data of the participants, as well as unforeseen discrepancies in external factors which may have led to skewed results.

Abstract: The objective of the study was to determine the factors that contribute to the retention of new registered nurses in their first employment situation. The hypothesis, which stated that there would be a positive relationship between job satisfaction and retention, was tested on 33 new RNs who worked in one community hospital. Each subject answered two questionnaires: McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale tool that categorized the sources of job satisfaction into eight subcategories and the demographic data sheet. Pearson Product Moment Correlations, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were used as appropriate. The results did not support the hypothesis, that retention was related to job satisfaction. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory was used to explain the findings. The overall nurse satisfaction was rated at 3.57 on a 5 point scale or at the 71.48%. The range was from 63 to 83% level. In spite of the low satisfaction level, nurses tended to stay at their first job. This was possibly due to the current adverse economic conditions of the state of California. A closer look at the eight subscales of satisfaction tool revealed that nurses were happier with their coworkers and level of interaction with other healthcare professionals, and least happy with their lack of opportunity for decision-making and control over the work situation. Implications were made to Nursing Administration to improve the conceptual environment to help improve the work conditions of the new nurses.
