TL;DR
Whether the actual career choices and job values of newly qualified nurses are in accordance with the predictions they made at the commencement of their nursing education is uncovered.
Abstract
During the student period, the bachelor programme was regarded as a basis for further education, but 2 years after graduation only 16% had realized further education. Preferences related to job values regarding a prospective job reveal a decrease in the importance of human contact and an increase in the importance of a high salary and job security from 2001 to 2003.
