Nurse practitioners’ job satisfaction and intent to leave current positions, the nursing profession, and the nurse practitioner role as a direct care provider

This study will help bridge the gap in literature relating to NP job satisfaction, their intent to leave, and anticipated turnover. The results of this study could potentially assist employers in developing strategies for recruitment and long-term retention. These results may also give insight into how NPs can make their work environments more fulfilling. Additionally, these results may contribute to continued role adaption necessary for the constantly changing work environments in which NPs currently practice.
