Abstract
Job satisfaction is a key to the retention of quality nurses. To promote staff retention and reduce costs, nursing administrators need current research on job satisfaction of home health nurses. In a study of job satisfaction of 66 home health nurses, research indicates that the most satisfying aspects of home care nursing include autonomy and independence, close nurse-client relationships, work hours, flexibility in scheduling hours, and satisfaction with peers and supervisors. When nursing administrators capitalize on these job satisfiers, staff turnover is reduced and costs are contained.Keywords
