Abstract
The work environment across the U.S. has been evolving, and no where has this been any more apparent than in nursing. Today's nurses have different expectations of what the work environment should entail. Most nurses today are seeking more personal time, rather than financial compensation. Nurses want to be active at both work and home, willing to relocate and work longer hours in order to have more personal time off. As this trend continues, employers are increasingly offering additional services to help reduce stress and allow for a balance of personal and professional management of time. Nurses view the work place differently, preferring autonomy over bureaucracy. They are loyal to the profession, rather than the employer, thus becoming more mobile and working as traveling nurses and temporary agencies, rather than staying grounded. Purpose: The purpose of this project is to explore the following question: are preceptorship programs evidence-based intervention to promote job satisfaction in preceptors and preceptees? Methods: A comprehensive literary review was conducted. Various techniques were utilized such as: quantitative descriptive questionnaire, correlational descriptive design using quantitative data, quantitative longitudinal study, an educational article, qualitative with open-ended questions, and phenomenological methods to study graduate nurse preceptorship experiences Conclusions: Preceptorship programs do make an impact on nurse job satisfaction. By addressing the areas of achievement, recognition, responsibility, work itself, and personal growth, nurses are able to experience job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is essential for retention of nurses.
