Abstract
Aim: The aim was to describe registered nurses� perceptions of what the goodwork implies to them in municipal elderly care. Methods: A descriptive design and a structured questionnaire. Sixty housing units for older people and 213 nurses participated, with a response rate of 62%. Results: The good work included the following aspects: Intellectually stimulating without guilt feelings; freedom and independence with the possibility to influence; having appreciative and pleasant fellow workers and a fair and understanding manager; a good physical and risk-free environment; work security and a steady income with the possibility of improving salary through work effort; work effort should be beneficial to others; innovative thinking and initiative should be highly valued; and pride in work without compromising personal values. Conclusion: Employers and policy makers must take registered nurses� perceptions of what the good work implies to them into consideration. This is necessary for consideration to retain those RNs already working and for recruiting new RNs to municipal elderly care, to ensure safe elderly care.
