Hi and greetings from California.
I am doing a study about the most important things that you (a Nurse) look for in a company when your looking for a job. I think that some of the things may be age specific, so the first few questions are about your age.
Thanks.

A biggie for me is self scheduling.

I've learned that self-scheduling isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Health benefits and respect, rank up there.

Self schedule is an oxymoron. I worked in a place with self scheduling. We could work whenever we wanted, after...........we fulfilled our obligation for every other wknd, mandatory # of Fri/Mon, and night rotation. Needless to say, it got to the point where the big choice was: "Do I want Tues or Wed off?" I didn't call that self scheduling.

In my opinion, I think feeling like a respected and valued part of the team is the most important. If you are devalued constantly, it will effect your job performance and satisfaction. If you feel like you are wanted and needed in your department, then you are going to perform at your best.
