One of the questions we queried our audience about was what type of facility do you work at? For-Profit or Not-For-Profit? Slightly more than half of our 18,600 respondents work at a not-for-profit institution.Then we coupled this with another question: What type of environment do you work in? Again, not too surprising 56% of the nurses that answered our survey say they work at a hospital. The second highest group works for long term care facilities. I guess it shouldn't be a big surprise since the baby boomers are reaching the senior adult status in mass numbers and are requiring care provided by LTCs.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 61% of US nurses are employed by hospitals. This is quite similar to our survey where 56% of the respondents said they worked in a hospital.A tandem question on our survey asked: Do you work full time or part time?The responses were as follows:82% work full-time11% work part time7% work another scheduleThis somewhat mirrored Dept of Labor stats:76% work full-time16% work part time which includes all schedules except full timeBoth surveys show that most nurses work full-time. Do you work full-time by choice or necessity?Doing a search on allnurses provided many topics on the subject.
