A total of 22,754 nurses participated in the 2023 Survey of Michigan Nurses and are included in this report, which is lower than the 27,489 nurses who completed the 2022 survey. Even though the number of respondents was lower this year compared to last year, there were no significant differences between age, gender, race, ethnicity, or residence for nurses between the two years. As with previous years, RNs make up around 91 percent of respondents, while LPNs only make up about nine percent of respondents.
For the next set of analyses, nurses who completed the survey were compared to the total nurse population based on the state’s nurse licensure data provided by LARA. Data were compared using license type, age, and place of residence. A set of weighting variables were created to increase the degree to which the survey results are representative of the overall nurse population in Michigan. A summary of the state’s nurse licensure data can be found at www.minurse.org under “Licensure Data & Mapping.”
