title: Nurses' job satisfaction: are there differences between foreign and U.S.-educated nurses?
abstract: This article reports the results of a job satisfaction survey administered to foreign-educated and U.S. nurses at six New York City public hospitals. Although a comparison of results for foreign-educated nurses on temporary visas (N = 322) and U.S. nurses (N = 535) revealed demographic, education and work differences, no differences in level of satisfaction were found between the two groups. Cultural and work status differences that may have affected these results are discussed.
