Abstract

The nursing shortage is an important problem that needs appropriate management strategies. Subjective career success is an important strategy because it reflects the person's perception of their own career success, increases job retention, and decreases the problem of nursing shortages. This article aims to present the concept of subjective career success, its factors, and methods to promote the subjective career success of nurses, which consist of job success, interpersonal success, financial success, hierarchical success, and life success. This is important for nursing administrators to develop the management of nursing personnel in the organization.
