People spend an average of almost 2 thousand hours a year at their workplaces. Hence, job satisfaction is important, especially in relation to nurses’ motivation and commitment. So it requires attention from both management and employees. Recent changes in the labor market in Poland, including those in healthcare, have made the previously dominant model of “a job for life” an anachronism. This paper aims to examine whether the number of past workplaces is related to the current level of personal and job satisfaction and the perception of the current job as "ideal". A diagnostic survey with a standardized questionnaire was main tool in this study; 1066 active Polish nurses responded. The results showed that the experience of the respondents measured as the number of past workplaces had negligible impact on the current level of personal and job satisfaction. However, the level marginally increased with an increase in the number of past workplaces. There was also noticeable impact on the perception of the current job as "ideal", which could be used in managing teams of nurses, especially in motivating them and developing their commitment to work.
