Description:

The paper defines and describes the duties, obligations and educational abilities of both a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in order to determine the motivations of nurses to transfer positions. The paper provides a literature review and concludes that a more in-depth analysis is necessary to truly assess a nurse's motivation for expressing interest in transferring to the role of nurse practitioner. The paper also shows the need for more studies on whether such a transfer will bring greater job satisfaction and motivation than if the nurse were to remain as a registered nurse.
