This is the first wave of a multi wave panel survey that studied newly licensed registered nurses who obtained their first license to practice between September 1, 2004 and August 31, 2005. It was conducted as part of the RN Work Project, a national study of new nurses funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The survey interviewed the nurses about their jobs, turnover, intentions and attitudes--including intent, satisfaction, organizational commitment, and preferences about work.

Sample View help for Sample
The wave 1 respondents were selected using a random stratified cluster design which mirrored the sampling design of the Community Tracking Study (ICPSR 2524, 2597, 3199, 3267, 3764, 3820, 4216 and 4584). The sample was nested in the 60 CTS sites (51 Metropolitan Statistical Areas and nine groups of non-MSA counties in 35 states across the contiguous United States) and was designed to select nurses with equal probabilities of selection across the sites.
