assistance.
● Identify trends in nurse characteristics such as education and training, employment, income,
and demographics.
For other uses and more information, visit www.census.gov/nssrn.

The success of this survey depends on your response. You were randomly selected to participate
andyou represent hundreds of other nurses in your state. We cannot replace you with another
