Abstract:Job satisfaction has great significance for nurses. The job is very demanding and requires a great deal of responsibility. Low job satisfaction and organisation changes affect their work negatively. The aim of the study was to investigate the nurses? job satisfaction and job situation. Legitimate nurses at a medicine department of a hospital situated in the middle of Sweden were interviewed for this purpose. The study is descriptive and the qualitative approach has been used. The data was analysed with content analysis as described by Graneheim and Lundman. The study investigates the factors affecting nurses? experiences as far as job satisfaction and job situation are concerned. The nurses? opinions on what should be done to improve their work environment are also discussed in the study. The result shows that the nurses? job satisfaction and job situation is affected by the collaboration between the colleagues and the management, as well as job related stress and work environment.
