Methods: In total, 161 nurses from comprehensive nursing care units in Seoul, Korea were surveyed from October to November 2018. Differences in work experience according to general characteristics were analyzed by independent t-test. The work experience of the nurses was analyzed by ranking the average by category and item, and the correlation between variables was obtained using Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: Among the sub-categories of work experience, ‘Advance for Better Nursing’ had the highest rank, while the highest item was ‘Patient classification criteria suitable for the use in comprehensive nursing care units are needed’ (4.39±0.78). ‘Advance for Better Nursing’ was significantly correlated with ‘Distributed Difficulties of Nursing’ (r=.48, p<.001).
