Background:

A significant number of registered nurses globally are nearing retirement age.
This demographic shift highlights potential concerns regarding retirement preparedness within the nursing profession.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore factors and income sources registered nurses deem important for retirement planning.
To assess the current level of retirement planning among nurses aged 45 and older.

Main Methods:

A mail-out questionnaire was administered to 200 randomly selected registered nurses aged 45+.
Data were analyzed using SPSS descriptors, with t-tests comparing responses from staff nurses and nurse managers/educators/researchers.

Main Results:

71% of 124 respondents planned retirement by age 60, yet only 24% had extensively planned.
Top planning strategies focused on physical and mental health; financial planning ranked fifth.
Work pensions, government pensions, and personal savings were the leading income sources; no significant differences were found between staff nurses and managers.

Conclusions:

Retirement preparedness, including financial aspects, is similar between staff nurses and nurse managers.
Nurses should prioritize financial planning early in their careers for a secure retirement.
Nurse managers can champion comprehensive pre-retirement education programs for all nursing staff.
