Though millennial has unique characteristics as digital natives who prefer to interact with images, branded goods, to have idols and who are interested in modern technological utilization, studying their career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) is barely reported in Indonesia. To respond to such gap, the current report was designed to pattern the CDMD of both male (N = 120) and female (N = 140) undergraduate students in Indonesia. The instrument of the research was totally adopted from Gati et al's. (1996) career decision-making difficulties questionnaire. Descriptive anaylsis showed that the male (M = 4.93) have higher difficulties than the females (M = 4.85). With different levels of difficulties, the current study, therefore, corresponds to Mau's (2004), Guan et al's. (2015), and di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Levin, Levin, and Gati's (2015) reports.

Background: In 2019, China completed the pilot project “Internet Plus Nursing Service.” The study aimed to investigate the attitude, willingness, and motivation of third-year undergraduate nursing students toward “Internet Plus Nursing Service,” providing a reference for the development of “Internet Plus Nursing Service” and related nursing education. Methods: This cross-sectional study comprised 508 third-year undergraduate nursing students from a public University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using a self-designed survey.Results: Of these 508 nursing students, 314 (61.81%) expressed support for the implementation of “Internet Plus Nursing Service,” 150 (29.52%) remained neutral and 44 (8.66%) expressed disapproval. In regards to career choice, 279 (54.92%) were willing to choose “Internet Plus Nursing Service” as their future career choice, 51 (10.04%) were unwilling, and 178 (35.04%) were unsure. The top three motivations to choose “Internet Plus Nursing Service” as their future career choice were added income, high autonomy and flexibility, and good job prospects. On the contrary, the top three motivation not to choose were safety concern, lack of time and energy, unwilling elderly care. gender, whether an only child or not, home location, and degree of knowledge and skills required for elderly care were not significantly associated with the willingness of nursing students to participate in “Internet Plus Nursing Service” (P > 0.05). Experience of community activities or a part-time job, elderly care experience, choice of nursing profession, satisfaction with nursing profession, willingness to engage in nursing work after graduation, and willingness to engage in elder care work were significantly associated with the willingness of nursing students to participate in “Internet Plus Nursing Service” (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Students had a positive attitude towards “Internet Plus Nursing Service” and were willing to choose “Internet Plus Nursing Service” as their future career choice. However, they lacked the willingness to engage in elder care after graduation. School education should strengthen the nursing education of elder care, develop a diversified nursing service model and professional training programs that meet social demands and professional needs, as well as address the opportunities and challenges of the Internet era.

“…A combination of immediate and longer term incentives could attract and retain a much larger number of early‐career nurses to address chronic nurse vacancy rates in older adult nursing (Algoso et al, ; Haron et al, ). Better planning and sequencing of preregistartion gerontological learning and experiences could help stimulate greater interest in this field among students (Chai, Cheng, Mei, & Fan, ). But converting interest into recruitment and retention posts “is likely to be related to planned, and sequenced, multi‐policy intervention—so‐called ‘bundles’ of linked policies, rather than single interventions” (Buchan et al, , p. 15).…”

Background and aim Nurse vacancy rates in older adult services are disproportionately high compared to other areas of nursing. This is partly because few student nurses consider it an attractive career option once qualified due to perceptions of low‐status, strenuous nature of the work and impoverished care environments. The study aimed to explore students' perceptions of incentives that could counterbalance the barriers for new graduate nurses joining this speciality. Methods A qualitative descriptive design using focus group interviews was carried out with six groups of student nurses (n = 27) following completion of their acute care older adult placements in three hospitals. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The barriers from students' perspectives were constructed as a vicious cycle of staff shortages and inadequate resources that created impoverished environments leading to a dissonance between ideal and delivered care. Over one‐third of students were unlikely to consider a career in older adults nursing, but the remaining students could identify incentives that may tempt them. Four main themes and eight subthemes were identified: gerontological status and leadership (ward leadership; respected others); relational care (legitimising emotional support, care vs. cure goals); quality work environment (pay as recognition, 12‐hr shifts); and education‐career pathways (gerontological knowledge, career progression). Conclusion Radical new approaches, based on student and nurse engagement, are required to incentivise a career in gerontological nursing. A combination of shorter and longer term strategies that include education‐career pathways, a focus on relation care, and improved work conditions including financial incentives should be trialled. Implications for practice In terms of practice, addressing high nurse vacancy rates in older adult services that negaively impacts on patient outcomes requires a suite of incentives informed by ‘what matters’ to students and nurses working in the speciality.
