RN/LPN COMPENSATION REPORT 2018

US nurses were invited to participate in a 10- to 15-minute online survey about their annual earnings. Respondents were required to be practicing nurses identifying as registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). After a recruitment period lasting from July 12 through August 31, 2018, a total of 10,282 nurses met the screening criteria and completed the survey.
The following slides report survey findings from two subgroups of respondents: RNs (n = 5011) and LPNs (n = 2002). In a few instances, we compare findings from the current year with those of last year's compensation survey. A future report will focus on findings about the compensation of APRNs.
