Introduction and Objective: This study was done with the aim of determining the work satisfaction of nurses working in university and state hospitals. Methods and Requirements: The research was carried out in the identificative and cutting-edge research design. The universe of the study consists of 400 nurses working in a university and state hospital located in the center of the province, while the sampling consists of 220 nurses aged from 18 to 65 who accepted to participate in the study, who have completed at least 1 year in office. The research data was collected using the "Personal Information Form" and the "Employment Scale". In the analysis of data, the identification statistics for continuous (nical) variables are given in the form of "medium, standard deviation, minimum and maximum" and the number and percentage of the categorical variables. The comparison of the dependent variable based on independent variables was conducted by the "Kruskal-Wallis" and "Mann Whitney U" tests. Results: The study found that nurses’ work satisfaction was at a medium level (86.18 ± 21.73). The total work satisfaction scale of nurses working in the university hospital was 89.77±22.05, while the total work satisfaction scale of nurses working in the state hospital was 82.46±20,86. The operating policy of nurses who have held 1-2 attacks in the last 1 month and who have never held any attacks has been higher than the average of nurses who have held more than 5 attacks per month (p<0,05). RELATED AND RESULTATED: In the study, the nurses’ work satisfaction level was determined at a medium level. Implementing new plans for improving the weekly working hours of nurses working for 5 years or more to increase work satisfaction, taking into account their desires for the unit where nurses will work, and supporting participation in nursing scientific activities can be beneficial.
