| Year | 2012 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Available from the NZNO Library | |

| Abstract | The author has taken a broad approach to this research to explore the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards the nursing profession, the work itself and their career plans. This study arose out of the author?s interest in health care workforce planning for nursing and in particular the retention of young nurses given the current national and global shortage of nurses. Because of the broad and descriptive nature of the research, a wide variety of topics are included in the literature reviewed. Chapter one provides background to the study and an overview of generational cohorts. Chapter two explores selected literature relevant to the concept of work and the characteristics of the Generation Y workforce. Other topics included in this chapter include Herzberg?s work motivation hygiene/maintenance theory and a selection of literature about key workforce recruitment and retention issues. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences |

| Title | How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Whitireia Nursing Journal | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | ||
| Keywords | Careers in Nursing; Minority Groups; Nursing Shortage; Personnel Recruitment | ||||
| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support. The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people. |
