Includes bibliographical references. The transition from being a nursing student to a professional nurse presents numerous challenges that can lead to decreased job satisfaction and poor career adaptation among new graduate nurses. Amidst persistent nurse shortages and declining patient outcomes, exploring the factors influencing the job satisfaction and career adaptation of new graduate nurses is crucial to address the complexities they face during this critical period. The study evaluated the job satisfaction and career adaptation of new graduate nurses in transition to professional nursing practice in selected hospitals of Rinconada area. The study utilized the descriptive correlational design, with the questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument, which was distributed to 32 respondents of each selected hospital. Percentage technique, Weighted mean, and Chi-Square test were utilized as the statistical tools. The study revealed that most respondents were female, aged 24 to 26, employed between 6 months to 1 year, assigned to general wards, with a monthly income of Php 10,000 to Php 20,000 and all single. The respondents expressed satisfaction in terms of the collaborative environment and work structure. However, job satisfaction in terms of pay and benefits as well as promotion gained moderate satisfaction among the respondents. Furthermore, the findings revealed that the respondents had adapted in their new career in terms of workload, leadership roles, and professional development. Additionally, it was found out that the profile of the respondents does not in anyway influence the job satisfaction of new graduate nurses in transition to professional nursing practice. Based on the findings, improving job satisfaction was the focus of the plan which would involve strategies to address the areas of moderate satisfaction expressed by the new graduate nurses, such as enhancing pay and benefits and improving the transparency and fairness of the promotion system, rather than tailoring approaches based on individual profiles.
