Our objective was to clarify the changes in facility selection reasons among Japanese nurses after changing jobs and the personal attributes influencing facility selection. Methods: In January 2023, an online survey was conducted among licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, midwives, and public health nurses in Japan. The survey items included personal attributes (age and sex), information on \u2264five employment facilities, and facility selection reasons. The variations in facility selection reasons by facility number were analyzed using a generalized linear model with a binomial distribution. A logistic regression analysis was conducted with personal attributes and reasons for workplace selection as the independent and dependent variables, respectively. Results: In total, 721 participants were included; 90.8% selected hospitals as their first place of employment. As nurses changed jobs, they increasingly selected non-hospital facilities, including nursing homes, nursery schools, and government agencies. With multiple job changes, the facility selection reasons included \u201cgood location for commuting\u201d, \u201cgood salary\u201d, and \u201cconvenient working style\u201d. Among personal attributes, \u201cage\u201d, \u201csex\u201d, \u201cage at employment at the facility\u201d, \u201ceducational background\u201d, \u201cnumber of children\u201d, and \u201cliving alone\u201d influenced workplace choice reasons. Conclusions: Considering the study results, country-specific demographic trends, medical policy changes, and nursing-shortage-related causes, medical facility managers and policymakers should devise appropriate employment conditions and develop recruitment strategies, especially for situations with severe nursing shortages. Nurses can learn from the career choices of others to manage their own careers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep15020058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T08:53:41Z","timestamp":1738832021000},"page":"58","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Changes in Workplace Choice Reasons and Individual Influencing Factors for Nurses Across Job Changes: Cross-Sectional Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9516-335X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yukari","family":"Hara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, 2-1, Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8575, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kasumi","family":"Sato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, 2-1, Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8575, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideyuki","family":"Hirayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, 2-1, Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8575, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satomi","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, 2-1, Seiryo-machi, Aoba-ku, Sendai 980-8575, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junko","family":"Omori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Nursing, St. Luke\u2019s International University, 10-1 Akashicho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo 104-0044, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"787","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep11040075","article-title":"The impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on nurses\u2019 turnover intention: An integrative review","volume":"11","author":"Falatah","year":"2021","journal-title":"Nurs.
