Characteristics of Rural RNs in the U.S.: Analysis of the 2000 National Sample Survey of RNs
Description:
This study used data from HRSA’s 2000 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN) to compare RNs in urban areas of the United States with nurses in three categories of rural areas. The study examined rural and urban RNs’ demographic characteristics, educational backgrounds and employment characteristics. It also explored whether the characteristics of nurses in more isolated rural areas differ from those in other rural areas, and whether education and employment patterns are consistent across regions of the United States. Funded by HRSA, National Center for Health Workforce Analysis.
