Domestic and International Research Progress on the Career Plateau of Nurses

Career plateau is a new phenomenon that occurs in an individual’s career. It also refers to the period when an individual employee enters a “stagnant” period of career development, which can have huge negative impacts on individuals and organizations. Based on reviewing relevant domestic and international literature, this paper organizes, summarizes, and synthesizes information from three key aspects of the overview of nurses’ career plateau, research population, and research countermeasures, so as to provide theoretical references for managers to take effective measures to improve the current career situation of nurses.
