The purpose of study was to clarify the current nursing work environment in Japan. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among nurses working at mid-sized hospitals in A Prefecture. The questionnaire included 23 items, which contirmed their validity and reliability in the study by Nakashima and Moriyama (2009)．For this study, descriptive analysis, principal component analysis, factor analysis of variance, and one-way analysis of variance were used for analysis. The participants in this study included 163 nurses. The mean age of the participants was 38.4 ± 9.3 years and they were grouped into three categories according to their nursing experience (novice, mid-career, and veteran). In the factor analysis, six factors were extracted, as was shown by Nakashima and Moriyama. The results of the one-way analysis of variance indicated that mid-career nurses were less satisfied with their work environment and they felt that their departments were understaffed for many years. It was suggested that comprehensive support for mid-career nurses should be provided. One way of solving the shortage of manpower might be by making the working environment attractive enough even to latent nurses, who have licenses but do not work as nurses.
