Abstract

This study examined the relationship between the method of entry into the nursing profession and job satisfaction of male registered nurses. There are three methods of entry for men who enter into a female dominated profession: seeker, one who enters the profession by choice; finder, one who enters by convenience; and settler, one who enters as a second career. Job satisfaction has six dimensions which include supervision, colleagues, pay, advancement, security, and opportunity. This study examined how male registered nurses compare in the six dimensions of job satisfaction when divided by method of entry. In addition, the relationship between method of entry and area of work was studied.
