Nurses' retirement preparation.
Nurses expect that professional achievement and dedication to society will reward them with economic security in their later years. Such rewards may not be theirs without deliberate and careful attention to early preparation. This study showed that although nurses expect an adequate income during retirement, their current pension, benefit, and savings status suggests otherwise. Nurses who do not actively manage personal finances or attend to details of employment benefit packages place themselves at distinct risk for economic crisis during their decades of retirement.
