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.
