The data included in this file is the result of a national sample survey of all those who had licenses to practice as registered nurses in the United States in March 1996. The study is the primary source of data on the number and detailed characteristics of the country's registered nurse population. The datafile contains individual records for the 29,950 nurses in the sample with a record length of 736 bytes per nurse. Each record contains an appropriate weight that is required for the development of estimates and data on the characteristics of the 2.6 million RNs with licenses to practice in the country.
