Description

<p>The purpose of this study was to identify how nurse's skills should be effectively exploited. 229 nurses nearing retirement age (55 to 60 years) and 401 nurses in their 30s to 40s who were working at a hospital were surveyed. The researchers examined the type of hospitals where the nurses were working, their position, and their intention to continue working. The researchers also examined their desired employment status. The answers to the survey questions were then compared against each other. </p><p>40% of the nurses nearing retirement age expressed their intention to continue working. The reasons that were given by the nurses were, “financial reason”, “Capable to work over the age of 60”. The nurses nearing retirement age wanted to continue work in the same department, but only wanted to work during the day shift. These results suggest that when considering how to utilize nurses nearing retirement age, employers should ensure that the nurses' experience and knowledge match their desired employment status. We also need to consider more systematic method and share information within their community.</p>
