Zangaro, Director, National Center for Health Workforce Analysis, Bureau of Health Workforce, Health Resources and Services Administration: "Nurses play a critical role in the lives of patients throughout the nation. That is why the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is dedicated to providing policy makers and researchers with the most comprehensive data on registered nurses and nurse practitioners. Please support and encourage participation of the 2018 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses by sharing this flyer with your membership.
