Relationships between educational preparation and employment choices were investigated in a study of the career paths of nursing graduates from three types of educational programs: a community college diploma program, a generic baccalaureate program, and a postdiploma baccalaureate program. Selected personal and work-related correlates of career paths for the three groups also were explored. All available graduates for the years 1984 to 1990 from the three programs (n = 1,544) were sent a self-administered questionnaire. Data were collected concerning demographic variables, employment details, ongoing professional development, and level of satisfaction with nursing. Analysis of the data demonstrated clear variations in the career paths of the three groups of graduates, supporting the belief that the type of educational program does indeed have a steering effect on the subsequent career choices of these nurses.
在一项针对三类教育项目的护理专业毕业生职业路径的研究中，调查了教育准备与就业选择之间的关系：一个社区学院文凭项目、一个普通学士学位项目和一个文凭后学士学位项目。还探讨了这三组职业路径中选定的个人和与工作相关的相关因素。向1984年至1990年这三个项目的所有现有毕业生（n = 1544）发送了一份自填式问卷。收集了有关人口统计学变量、就业细节、持续专业发展以及对护理满意度的数据。数据分析表明，三组毕业生的职业路径存在明显差异，这支持了这样一种观点，即教育项目的类型确实对这些护士随后的职业选择具有导向作用。
