Job satisfaction and intent to leave among NPs – survey invitation

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to inform you of an online survey on job satisfaction and intent to leave among NPs working in primary care. See below for more details. We strongly encourage you to participate in this survey to help us identify ways to improve NPs job satisfaction and intent to leave nationwide. Also, please share this email with your colleagues.

Principal Investigator: Rula Btoush, PhD, RN; Associate Professor; Rutgers School of Nursing

Study Co-Investigator: Annmarie Johnson-Rowe, MSN, ANP-BC, PMHNP-BC; PhD candidate

Purpose of the project: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence job satisfaction and intent to leave among nurse practitioners (NPs) working in primary care. We are planning to recruit 500 participants for this survey. This study will address the critical gap in knowledge on the experiences of diverse NPs to improve their job satisfaction and retention.

Who is eligible to participate?

  • NPs who are currently working in primary care settings in the US
  • 2 years or more of work experience in primary care advanced practice

Procedures: You are asked to complete a 15–20-minute, anonymous, online survey. The survey questions are about your job satisfaction, intent to leave, workplace environment, and professional support in your practice. The survey will not ask your name or any identifying information. Your responses will be kept confidential. At the end of the survey, you have the option of receiving a $15 gift card.

The study survey is available at: https://go.rutgers.edu/ga0hav6w

Nurse Ethics Challenges 

Nurses, what ethics challenges do you face, or have you faced as an RN on the job?

How have any such challenges affected your well-being? These are important questions that the University of Pennsylvania is asking to learn more about your nursing experiences. The answers will allow healthcare educators and ethicists to understand the ethical issues and evaluate potential resources to address those issues. If you are an RN in California, Maryland, Massachusetts or Pennsylvania, you are eligible to take the survey. Ultimately, your answers will help ALL nurses. Your participation is thus a very responsible action to take.
