The Importance of Nursing Staff Satisfaction: Nigerian Context

Abstract

This theoretical study X-rayed the urgent need for nurse job satisfaction all over Nigeria. Nursing shortage all over Nigeria has become a continuous threat to quality care outcomes and there is nothing to show that this will come to an end anytime soon. Attracting and retaining qualified registered nurses to function in critical managerial roles because of the current nursing shortage is becoming increasingly vital as diseases and healthcare issues flood the Nigerian domain. In addition, though the government has not seen this as a danger, baby boomers and children are at a high risk of sicknesses and early death. Therefore, it is imperative that the few existing nurses are job satisfied by all means.
