As we conducted the survey, we found out that out of 50 nurses 19 were employed with
private hospitals, 14 with university hospitals and 17 with Veterans Administration hospitals.
As we can see there is a negligible difference in the number of nurses working in Private and
V.A hospitals. We may infer those nurses are more inclined towards working in Private
hospitals. This may be due to a variety of reasons. We’ll study the degrees of the satisfaction
of these nurses in the following tables.
