A literature review for the period of 1995 to 2005 was performed using electronic database (Ichushi), using the following key phrase: mid-career nurse/s. Thirty-two research articles , thirty-three practical reports and two journals were reviewed. Results indicated there was no standardized definition of nurses in mid-career. Many researchers described it using years of clinical experience or positions. However, five years of clinical experience was included in most definitions. The characteristic of nurses in mid-career were summarized by three aspects: their ability, problems, and factors which foster their development. It appears that nurses in mid-career have higher nursing abilities compared to younger nurses and degree of their ability development varied. Also they have many conflicts. A variety of professional development programs for mid-career nurses including human resource management programs were reported. Ma
