Abstract: Proper nurse placement is crucial for enhancing the performance and quality of health services. This study aims to explore in-depth the relationship between nurse placement and performance in order to promote nursing excellence. A quantitative analysis was conducted using a descriptive correlational methodology. The population in this study consisted of 214 executive nurses at Medan Government Hospital, with a sample size of 139. The study’s findings revealed that nurses performed exceptionally well in providing nursing care, scoring 94.2%, with those well-placed scoring 90.6%. The results from the Spearman rho correlation test showed that nursing qualifications, experience, work environments, and team dynamics have significant relationships with nurse performance. Meanwhile, the nurse’s rho factor towards patients and the policy or regulation component showed low significance and relationship. The novelty of this study lies in its indication that nursing performance can be enhanced by aligning the placement of nurses with their abilities and experience, and fostering a work environment and positive team dynamics that encourage collaboration and efficiency. These findings provide vital insights for nursing staff management in order to enhance nursing care quality and patient health outcomes. This study highlights the need for suitable placement and professional development for nurses in order to attain maximum performance.
