The study shows majority of the study population belonged to age group between 25-30years (55%). Gender-wise distribution showed 48% males and 52% females. Female Nurses were more as compared to males. More than half of the study population (68.3%) were poorly motivated and their job 39% satisfaction level is very poor.
