ABSTRACT

Purpose : This study was designed to explore the re-employment process of retired nurse officers and to develop a grounded theory about their experiences. Methods : The participants were 9 retired nurse officers holding jobs. Data was collected through interviews using MP3 recordings. The data were analyzed using the Strauss and Corbin(1998) method. Results : The process of 'seeking new dream by breaking down the barrier of reality' was categorized into four stages : 'destiny: wrapping up the military service', 'anxiety: looking for a job', 'adaptation to the new job : giving up, meagerly holding on, satisfaction', and 'dreaming: planning for the future'. There were four steps of emotional change in this chronological order: 'lack of concern', 'anxiety : low self-esteem', 'confidence : stepping up to the challenge', 'missing the military'. Conclusion : The findings of this study will help better understand the retired nurse officers' re-employment experience.
