Work environment has been described as an important factor in the job satisfaction of nurses and their quality of service provided. However, little is known of the present work environment of Filipino nurses in the country. This study used a cross-sectional design to describe work environment variables affecting Filipino nurses; determine the degree of nurses' job satisfaction;, and determine their intention to remain in their present work environment. A self-administered survey was developed by the study team and was distributed during the PNA national conference through the Chapter Presidents. This study discovered that the lowest positive responses were in the Physiologic and Safety Needs but despite this result, nurses reported high job satisfaction and intend to remain in their present work environment.
