ABSTRACT
With an emerging national nursing shortage and evidence of dissatisfied registered nurses, it is useful to revisit the issue of satisfaction by analyzing data from the prior nursing shortage in 1989. The authors explore the relationships that work values have on the satisfaction that nurses experience with a career in nursing. The relevance of the findings are discussed within the context of the nursing shortage.

This is especially true for nurses in management and administration. Therefore, exposing them to current technologies becomes crucial in their academic experience. Educating students to use business software applications and to understand their output will yield a leading edge to those preparing for management decision-making.
