The Registered Nurse Population by Anonim Pdf
This publication is the report of the ninth National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN) representing data collected about registered nurses (RNs) holding active nursing licenses as of March 2008. As with previous iterations of the NSSRN, this report is available to all primary stakeholders involved in health care planning and evaluation as well as the public. The 2008 NSSRN public use files and code book are available to researchers and analysts and can be accessed at http://bhpr.hrsa.gov/healthworkforce/rnsurvey/default.htm. The 2008 NSSRN was developed for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration under contract with Westat. The study was overseen by the Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr) and funded through the Division of Nursing. The first national survey was conducted in 1977; HRSA has conducted this national survey every 4 years since 1980. Data from these periodic surveys provide the basis for evaluating trends and projection of the future supply of nursing resources at the national and State levels. The NSSRN is the cornerstone of nursing workforce data. It is the principal data source used for disseminating information to the Federal Government, researchers, and the public on the nursing workforce. It provides essential information for performing supply-demand projections of nursing requirements and foreseen shortages.
