According the study, four major surveys showed wage growth for RNs between 2000 and 2006. In three six-year surveys, wages rose by 12.2 percentage points according to the National Compensation Survey, 12.1 percentage points according to the Current Population Survey and 4.9 percentage points according to the Occupational Employment Statistics survey. The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, conducted 2000-2004, showed an increase of 7.8 percentage points.
The authors of the study attribute this trend to the increased demand for nurses as a result of the state’s staffing laws combined with the overall shortage of RNs across the United States.
