    Abstract

    A questionnaire survey of a stratified random sample (n=l80) of registered nurses employed at two hospitals in the Australian Capital Territory was conducted to identify factors contributing to their job satisfaction and measure levels of satisfaction of registered nurses Grade 1, Grade 2 and Grade 3. The response rate was 75%.
    The survey found that registered nurses were satisfied with the scheduling, opportunities to utilize skills, working conditions, working relationships, leadership, decision making on patient care and intrinsic components of job satisfaction and dissatisfied with the salary component. Registered nurses Grade 2 were more satisfied than the Grade 3 group and registered nurses Grade l were least satisfied (P= <.05).
