Are Nurses Earning Enough As They Should Be?

CHICAGO - Nov. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- MEDbase200 Research Study: Registered Nurse Annual Income By Nursing Specialty

Abstract

Background:

In the course of building unique lists of nurses, performing routine hygiene (NCOA-Verification before every shipment, Monthly CASS-Certification) and maintaining the high standards MEDbase200 has for their nurse mailing lists, they conduct research studies assessing the current state of nurses specialties, the nursing field, and nursing demographics by state. Research studies ensure that nurse data is current and presents the most accurate selects available. Precise segmentation of the nurse market is impossible without current assessments that interact directly with their 4.7 million total universe nurse mailing list. MEDbase200's goal is to present a sample of their findings for general education about the current nurse market and state of nurse income, while ensuring their nurse mailing list is indeed the most accurate on the market.

Methods:

A sample size was determined from MEDbase200's lists of nurses (Total Universe: 4,778,454) that would accurately represent the nurse market. Surveys were administered throughout 2012, allowing the nurses to self-identify specialty, areas of personal and professional interest, professional certifications, personal demographic information and other information. A rating system was used for questions with scalable answers.

Results:

Median Registered Nurse Income: $69,251.
