One in five practice nurses plans to quit, survey shows

One-fifth of practice nurses intend to leave general practice due to low job satisfaction, a new study suggests.

Nursing researchers from the University of Wollongong have surveyed 90 practice nurses, nearly all female, working in the South Western Sydney Primary Health Network to gauge their job satisfaction and intention to stay or leave general practice nursing.
