ANA poll result, shows more Nurse seeking new employment

The American Nurses Association would like to thank its website visitors who participated in the March 2012 "Have Your Say" online poll. The poll asked respondents if they plan to seek a new place of employment once the economy recovers.

According to the results, 41% of respondents plan to seek new employment while 59% plan to remain at their current job. The results were based on 813 online responses.

To participate in the new poll, go to the NursingWorld homepage and answer the new poll question under the section titled "HAVE YOUR SAY" at the bottom of the left margin. Polls are posted on a monthly basis, with results from the previous poll made available on the Nursing Insider and the poll results archives.
