[tnbutterfly - Mary]

All survey participants who provide their email will be entered into drawings for a $100 gift card.

Jobs in healthcare ranked in the top of you.S News recent report of 2015's 100 best jobs. Nurse Practitioners lead the way of healthcare workers in the overall number 2 position, while Registered Nurses are close behind in the number 9 slot. As nurses, we know how valuable we are to the healthcare system as a whole. We also know that we are respected by the public. Nurses have consistently ranked in the top position of the Gallup poll with Americans rating nurses as having the highest honesty and ethical standards.

How do our salaries compare with the overall respect and importance placed on our jobs? How do our salaries compare to non-medical professionals, such as professional athletes? Salaries are a very important part of our jobs. While we may love our jobs, the compensation we receive is what pays the bills.

There have been many surveys done to determine the average nursing salaries based on location, experience, specialty, and several other factors. We have even done a few informal surveys on allnurses.

We would like you to participate in this year's nursing salary survey. Please answer the questions as they relate to your primary nursing job. If you have more than one nursing job, you may fill out an additional survey.

We are using a survey tool so that we will be better able to analyze and report the results to you. There are several questions, however, we feel the information provided by answers to these questions will give us a better picture of the nursing salaries and various factors which may affect them.

If you are an active licensed nurse, please take a few minutes to participate. Also, you are encouraged to post comments and questions here. Your input will be greatly appreciated. We will try to incorporate your comments in our results.

The interactive results can be viewed at:

Here's the corrections for the survey:

Question 1 has a radio button for the "Other" option but no space to fill in the other field with your information

Questions missing radio buttons for the "Other" option

3. What certifications do you have? Check all that apply. (response not required so it will submit without error)

7. What shift(s) do you work? Check all that apply.

11. What percentage of time is spent in direct patient care?

17. Select the range that best describes your hourly base pay.

Question 17 was the one that was an issue for me because I have two different jobs and one pays twice the other so it did not fit into the available options.

janeybirdrN, thanks for your input. We will take this into consideration when we do the next survey.

FYI.....the survey stated at the beginning that you were to answer questions for your primary nursing job.

If you have more than one job, you could've filled out more than one survey.

[tnbutterfly - Mary, BSN]

The survey is now closed. We had more than 18,000 respondents!!!!!

What happened to the 2015 Salary Survey Results? Earlier posting said something about 18000 participants...but no results and its almost 2016! It's always very interesting to see how much or little folks are making in other regions of the Country. I think the Salary Threads posted in the past were so much more helpful than sites like Salary Wizard. Would really appreciate it if someone would start one again for 2016!
