Abstract
This exploratory descriptive study examines variables that affect the job satisfaction of psychiatric clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). A convenience sample of 52 psychiatric CNSs revealed a moderate amount of job satisfaction as indicated on the Mueller/McCloskey Satisfaction Scale. CNSs employed outside hospitals and those who had a private practice component to their jobs had greater mean job satisfaction than those who were employed in the hospital setting and did not have a private practice besides this work (p = 0.0188). Hospital executives are urged to look at the structures of their organizations to enhance the job satisfaction of these advanced nurses who work in a hospital.
