Database Title:
2008 Colorado Registered Nurse (RN) Workforce Survey
Organization:
Colorado Health Institute
Description or Purpose
In mid-October 2008, the Colorado Health Institute (CHI) began surveying registered nurses (RNs) in Colorado about practice and training issues related to the nursing workforce. Approximately 3,000 licensed RNs were randomly selected to receive the survey which focuses on education, clinical experiences, job satisfaction, practice setting, time spent on various duties, future career plans and interest in becoming a nursing faculty member.
The 2008 survey is a follow-up to CHI’s 2005 survey of individuals whose RN licenses were subject to renewal. CHI received survey responses from 12,559 RNs, or 52 percent of those who renewed in fall 2005.
