Abstract

The widely deplored shortage of qualified personal in the nursing sector all over Europe can be traced to a number of reasons among which the relatively short duration that personal remains on the job ranks prominently. Besides the high psychic pressure involved with many nursing jobs, the degree of job satisfaction is also decreased by irregular working hours and inflexible working schedules.
