Job satisfaction is a critical component of the professional work environment and is often ascertained through surveys that include structured or open-ended questions. Differences between the job satisfaction clusters were mostly driven by satisfaction with workload, adequacy of the clerical support services, adequacy of the number of RN staff, and skills of RN colleagues.
