The training and job decisions of nurses
The training and job decisions of nurses is a research project funded by the Australian Research Council. It is a longitudinal study which commenced in 2008. The purpose is to investigate the factors that influence nurses’ early career choices, as they progress through education, enter the workforce and during the early years in the workforce. The study aims to make nursing better for nurses by providing information that can be used to develop health workforce policies to address current and future shortages of nurses in Australia.
Who can join the research?
Students and former students enrolled in the bachelor of nursing programs during 2008-2010 at the University of Technology, Sydney, Southern Cross University and the University of New England are invited to join the research.
If I join, what will it involve?
We will ask you to complete a survey via the internet, each year for the next five years. The survey should take approximately 30 minutes to complete. When the survey is due, we will send you an email with a link to the survey website.
