Abstract

An exploratory study of 168 nurses has yielded a new dimension of practice patterns, work excitement, a prerequisite to effective practice and quality care. Four reasonable and attainable factors were found to be significant predictors of work excitement: work arrangements; a learning environment that fosters individual growth and development; variety of experiences; and positive working conditions.
