The agency used it for analyses of the amount of medical personnel and the quality of health care services administered in different areas of the United States. This series consists of statistical data on all registered nurses licensed to practice in the United States, whether or not they were employed in nursing.

This survey includes information on the number of registered nurses; their professional educational background; their nursing specialty areas; their employment status including type of employment setting, position level, and salary; their geographic distribution; and their demographic characteristics. This data comprises government records extracted from the Archival Research Catalog (ARC). See the ARC catalog entry for this series for more information on this data and how to order it.
