Nurse practitioners (NPs) appear to be making strides in establishing their niche within the health care profession. Interviews with 23 NPs revealed the struggles and accomplishments in gaining respect and legitimacy within their workspace. Successful strategies included building collective professional relationships, performing their jobs well, being assertive professionally and when negotiating salaries, and selectively withdrawing from confrontational situations.

Staff nurse job satisfaction and management style

Article Abstract:

Participatory management enhances job satisfaction and facilitates an organization's effective change. A project studying 623 staff nurses in 3 Midwestern hospitals confirmed this to be the case and equated what the staff nurse perceived to be the management style with the actual management style. Staff nurses had to have worked in the same nursing unit at least half a year to participate in the study.
