title: Satisfaction of nurse managers in long-term care.
abstract: Nurse managers control quality and cost of the principal service provided by long-term care agencies. Job satisfaction was higher for long-term care nurse managers in metropolitan than in rural or suburban agencies. Findings suggest that continuing education may increase task satisfaction, as well as job knowledge of diploma-prepared nurse managers.
