“…Of these, the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale (MNPJSS) (Misener & Cox, 2001) and McCloskey Satisfaction Scale (MMSS) (Mueller & McCloskey, 1990) are used most often. With few exceptions, the level of NPs satisfaction is low (Dunaway & Running, 2009;Faris et al, 2010;Kacel, Miller & Norris, 2005;Miller, Apold, Bass, Berner, & Levine-Brill, 2005;Schiestel, 2007;Wild, Parsons, & Dietz, 2006). Lowest satisfaction scores were consistently found in areas such as opportunities for professional growth and development, opportunities to participate in research and committees, and the availability of support.…”
