Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses,
2000--New
The National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN) is carried
out to assist in fulfilling three congressional mandates: (1) Section
951 of P.L. 94-63 requires gathering data on(a) the number and
distribution of nurses by type of employment and location practice, (b)
the number of nurses practicing full-time and part-time within the U.S.
and within each State, (c) the average rate of compensation for nurses
by type of practice and location of practice, (d) the activity status
of the total number of nurses with advanced training or graduate
degrees in nursing, by specialty, including nurse practitioners, nurse
clinicians, nurse researchers, nurse educators, and nurse supervisors
and administrators, and (f) the number of nurses entering the U.S.
annually from other Nations; (2) Section 806(f) of P.L. 105-392
requires discipline workforce information and analytical activities for
advanced nursing education, workforce diversity, and basic nursing
education and practice; and (3) Section 792 of Title VII of the Public
Health Service Act calls for the collection and analysis of data on
health professions.
The information from this survey will serve policymakers,
legislative bodies, health professionals, and Government agencies to
inform workforce policies. Data collected in this survey will assist in
determining the impact that changes in the health care system are
having on employment status of registered nurses and their employment
settings.
The proposed survey design for the 2000 NSSRN follows that of the
previous six surveys and the projected sample size is approximately
49,200 registered nurses, with a response rate of 80%. Each respondent
will be asked to complete a self-administered mail questionnaire
containing items on educational background, duties, employment status
and setting, geographic mobility, and income.
Respondent burden is estimated as follows:
