Nursing student data needed

Hi there,

I'm looking for online resources to obtain the following data:

Specific needs, in order of importance:

1. Age demographics for undergraduate and graduate students.

2. Numbers of male vs. female nursing students.

3. Total number of undergraduate nursing students.

4. Total number of graduate nursing students.

5. What motivates them to study nursing (income potential, challenging work environment, sense of personal fulfillment, etc.)

6. What specialties/settings do they intend to work in after graduation?

7. Ethnic groups/races for nursing students.

8. Religious affiliations for nursing students.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Erica Ryberg
