registered nurses (RNs), the setting in
which they are employed and the
proportion of RNs who are employed
full-time and part-time in nursing. The
data will also indicate the number of
RNs who are employed in jobs unrelated
to nursing.
The proposed survey design for the
2008 NSSRN updates the design used in
the previous eight surveys. A
probability sample is selected from a
sampling frame compiled from files
provided by the State Boards of Nursing
in the 50 States and the District of
Columbia. These files constitute a
multiple sampling frame of all RNs
licensed in the 50 States and the District
of Columbia. Sampling rates are set for
each State based on considerations of
statistical precision of the estimates and
the costs involved in obtaining reliable
national and State-level estimates.
Each sampled nurse will be asked to
complete a self-administered
questionnaire, which includes items on
educational background, duties,
employment status and setting,
geographic mobility, and income. An
electronic version was offered in the
2004 survey and will be again
considered as a mode for response.
