What NURSE donors give in federal races

Donors who entered NURSE as occupation account for $15,033,909 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 122,565 contributions from 3,297 donor records. NURSE is a generic clinical noun, not REGISTERED NURSE or RN. In compact form the occupation total is $15.0 million.

Key figures

  • NURSE itemizations sum to $15,033,909 from 122,565 contributions and 3,297 donors.
  • Repeat itemizing is about 37 contributions per donor record; mean line size is about $123.
  • REGISTERED NURSE and RN are separate occupation keys.
  • Occupation is donor-supplied Form 3/3X text, not a nursing-board roster.

High volume, small mean line

$15,033,909 is the occupation-level dollar total. 122,565 is the itemization count. 3,297 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $123. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,560. Repeat giving is about 37 itemizations per donor record.

122,565 lines from 3,297 records is a high-repeat pattern common to widely used clinical titles. The per-line mean of about $123 is among the smaller means in this harvest band, so the contribution count is the number that explains how $15.0 million accumulated.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no license field, no hospital-versus-clinic split, and no gift-size distribution.

NURSE is not REGISTERED NURSE and not RN

REGISTERED NURSE and RN are neighboring occupation keys in this harvest. This page cites only NURSE: $15,033,909, 122,565 contributions, and 3,297 donors. Those other strings stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized them to NURSE.

The FEC record does not verify an RN, LPN, or NP license. Retired nurses, specialists who typed the generic noun, and people using the word loosely can all appear. Cross-walking this page to a nursing-board list would overstate or understate the overlap.

Reading the three facts together

A citation that showed only $15,033,909 would hide that the money arrived in 122,565 pieces. A citation that showed only 3,297 donors would hide how often those records reappear. Use all three facts.

LobbyVault does not infer party or health-policy motive from the occupation column. Recipient committees are a different join. Restated in compact millions, the occupation total is $15.0 million.

Occupation versus industry for nursing work

Industry pages group employers. A nurse in a hospital and a nurse in a school share this occupation string if they typed NURSE. Adding occupation dollars to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.

Open the NURSE occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see neighboring clinical titles as separate keys.

Limits and source

Occupation is free text. Extra words (retired nurse, nurse practitioner) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to NURSE. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Quote occupation equals NURSE, then $15,033,909, 122,565 contributions, and 3,297 donors.

Generic nursing title without a board match

NURSE in this extract is $15,033,909 on 122,565 itemizations from 3,297 donor records, or $15.0 million in compact millions. Arithmetic means are about $123 per contribution and about $4,560 per donor record, with roughly 37 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. REGISTERED NURSE and RN remain other occupation pages.

Combining those keys without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC string to a homemade cluster. Industry pages should not be added to $15,033,909. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals NURSE, dollars equal $15,033,909, contributions equal 122,565, donors equal 3,297. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.

122,565 itemizations is the number that explains how $15.0 million accumulated on a mean line of about $123. Retired nurse and nurse practitioner create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to NURSE. Nursing-board credentials are not verified. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.

Keep NURSE on its own line. Compact millions ($15.0 million) are the same headline amount as $15,033,909, rounded to one decimal place. 3,297 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Quote occupation equals NURSE, then $15,033,909, 122,565 contributions, and 3,297 donors. The occupations index is the inventory of neighboring clinical titles. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.

Generic NURSE is 3,297 donor records, 122,565 itemizations, and $15,033,909. REGISTERED NURSE and RN are other hubs in this harvest. Mean line size of about $123 explains the high line count. Nursing-board lists are not joined. Do not add the three nursing strings. Quote the three NURSE facts only.

Nursing-board numbers are not in the packet. 3,297 donor records is not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Restate the citation as occupation equals NURSE, dollars equal $15,033,909, contributions equal 122,565, donors equal 3,297.

Nurse practitioner hybrids stay outside $15,033,909 unless they normalized to NURSE. Open the live occupation hub for recipient rows. Compact millions ($15.0 million) match the dollar total rounded to one decimal place.

Questions

How much have NURSE donors given in FEC records?

Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
Are registered nurses included in NURSE?

Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
Does listing NURSE prove an active nursing license?
No. Occupation is self-reported free text. The FEC record does not verify a nursing-board credential. Quote 122,565 contributions and 3,297 donor records with the dollars. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
