2008 AANP National NP Compensation Survey.

摘要

In April-May 2008, AANP conducted the 2008 AANP National NP Compensation Survey. The survey invitation was emailed to all AANP full members. The online survey was available for two weeks, and a reminder e-mail was sent to the full members at the midpoint. In addition to the AANP members, 15,852 nonmembers were sent a onetime invitation to participate. During the two-week survey period, 6279 responses were received. The survey is the second AANP compensation-specific NP survey and included a range of items regarding NP annual and hourly income and employment-related benefits. It was an abbreviated version of the 2007 NP Compensation Survey, which included several income-related items that had been included in previous broad AANP surveys. In addition to data specific to the respondents' hourly wages or annual incomes, the survey was designed to collect data on variables such as the NPs' clinical specialization, educational background, patient populations, practice communities and settings, and employment benefits.
