Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the perceived job satisfaction of nurses who worked primarily with unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) compared to the job satisfaction of nurses working primarily with licensed personnel. A descriptive comparative study was employed using a random sample of 250 nurses registered in the state of Michigan. Data were collected using a survey methodology. One hundred three nurses responded. Data analysis included a comparison of job satisfaction of participants with the amount of time spent working with unlicensed personnel. The area of practice and level of education of the participants were also compared among those that worked with UAPs. No statistical difference was found when comparing job satisfaction of nurses working primarily with and primarily without UAPs. No statistical difference was found in job satisfaction among the nurses working with UAPs and their area of practice or level of education.
