The objective of this study is to identify motivational factors that enable nurses to remain in their profession. The choice for the topic is based on the alarming suggestions from previous studies regarding shortages of nurses due to different reasons.

Given the significance of the healthcare industries in most economy, there is urgent need to keep it sustainable so that it should be able to cater for the existing and future health challenges worldwide.

The results recommend that, institutions have to adopt a holistic training mechanism that takes into account the Socio-cultural and religious traits of both patients and nurses to be able to guarantee holistic care. In addition, the results indicate that a collegial and inclusive management approach be implemented. It emphasizes the need for constant encouragement and recognition of nurses input and career development opportunities. For clarity purpose, the author classified the results in two main categories, important and less important. However, these are grouped and explained in four sub headings.
