This is an in depth qualitative research study using a compelling literature review and an in depth case study of one hospital comparing registered nurse job satisfaction scores with patient satisfaction scores.

The role of the nurse manager is explored in order to understand possible the impact of that role on the satisfaction scores of both groups.
