TL;DR
The fact that nursing personnel leave because of unsatisfactory salary and lack of professional opportunities underpins the importance of making nursing more attractive in terms of financial and professional development.
Abstract
The fact that nursing personnel leave because of unsatisfactory salary and lack of professional opportunities underpins the importance of making nursing more attractive in terms of financial and professional development. However, the sample size of this study was relatively small and larger studies are thus required to further investigate the importance of these factors in the decision to leave nursing care.
