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.
