Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the factors relating to registered nurse job satisfaction on 11 hospital units in a 200 hundred bed community hospital in the southeastern United States. Exploration of these factors can lead to recommendations of appropriate interventions leading to increased nurse satisfaction with the goal being increased patient satisfaction and nurse retention. A descriptive methodology utilizing quantitative data from Dr. Paul Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey was used to explore factors relating to registered nurse satisfaction. The survey results assisted the researcher in determining the positive and negative factors recognized by registered nurses. By identifying the areas of least and most satisfaction, the researcher was able to recommend possible solutions in order to improve nursing satisfaction ratings.
