Abstract

A number of factors are associated with work preparedness and the degree of satisfaction among nurses working in hospitalsThis study set out to investigate the degree of contentment among nurses employed at a tertiary hospital's intensive care unit. A total of 149 nurses who worked in intensive care units made up the study's sample. The Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey was used to gather data. Out of the 149 nurses, 72 (48.3%) were working in the Neonatal and Pediatric; while 36 (24.2%) in the Medical-Surgical ICU with 77(51.7%) and with 5-10 years length of hospital experience. The findings indicated that the areas with the lowest levels of satisfaction were leadership, decision-making, employee well-being, promotion, and pay level, while the areas with the greatest levels were colleague satisfaction and job satisfaction. It also demonstrates that there is a strong correlation between the nurses' job happiness and every facet of clinical readiness.
