NURSE money in federal elections

A one-word clinical title, not a hospital-sector recode

Three hundred thirteen unique donors produced 14,108 contributions totaling $3,365,209. About 45 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $239 describe the arithmetic — a thicker receipt pattern than several other clinical titles in this packet wave. RN, REGISTERED NURSE, NURSE PRACTITIONER, LPN, and HOSPITAL can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,365,209 unless they grouped to NURSE.

Top employer matches NURSE. The FEC field records what was typed, not a state nursing-board licensee file. LobbyVault does not recode RN or hospital legal names into this one-word title. Researchers who want a combined nursing-services family must recode after export. The 313 unique-person count is not a census of practicing nurses.

313 donors and 14,108 lines

14,108 lines from 313 people is a thick receipt pattern relative to the donor count. Mean per donor is about $10,751. Repeat gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors. The packet does not publish a hospital-versus-clinic split, an RN-versus-LPN cut, or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and association PAC filings are outside the $3,365,209 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

RN, REGISTERED NURSE, and hospital names stay separate

RN, REGISTERED NURSE, NURSE PRACTITIONER, and HOSPITAL are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with NURSE would mix a one-word title, a credential abbreviation, a two-word license stamp, an advanced-practice title, and a facility name. This page reports $3,365,209 for NURSE only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the one-word stamp. RN, PHYSICIAN, and SELF-EMPLOYED exist as industry keys when donors put those words in the employer box instead of NURSE.

Donor table without facility inference

The NURSE donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a hospital EIN, a license type, or a motive to that line. Travel nurses who type the title share the string with staff who listed a facility elsewhere. The FEC field is not a nursing-board roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the title. Repeat names among 14,108 lines from 313 people are expected. People who typed only RN are not in these 313 unless a receipt also grouped to NURSE.

Unitemized gifts and association PAC documents are omitted. About 45 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $239 are arithmetic on the packet. Per-donor mean about $10,751 uses total divided by 313 people. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS hospital total.

One-word NURSE versus RN and REGISTERED NURSE

NURSE keyed $3.4M from 14,108 contributions and 313 donors. RN and REGISTERED NURSE remain other keys. The 313 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of licensed clinicians. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the one-word stamp.

Keep $3,365,209 on this spelled-out title. Hospital legal names stay on their own pages unless they grouped here. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. Unitemized gifts remain omitted.

Read $3,365,209 as the NURSE cluster only. About 45 gifts per person, a mean gift near $239, and about $10,751 per donor are packet arithmetic. A thick receipt file is consistent with repeat itemized gifts; the packet does not publish an RN-versus-LPN split. Unitemized gifts and association PAC filings sit outside the $3.4M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

LobbyVault does not recode RN into this one-word title. The FEC field is not a NAICS hospital or physician-office total. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault. Open the NURSE donor table for line-level detail. All industries lists other clinical-title strings without merging them here.

Questions

How much have NURSE-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,365,209 to the NURSE employer string, from 14,108 contributions and 313 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a nursing-association PAC and not a NAICS hospital total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is RN or REGISTERED NURSE included?

Only if those receipts grouped to NURSE. RN, REGISTERED NURSE, and NURSE PRACTITIONER are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.4M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to NURSE. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include hospital staff who typed a facility name?

Only if the grouped employer text is NURSE. Hospital legal names are separate keys if stored that way. A receipt counted here carries the one-word title. Staff who typed RN sit in that other row. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed NURSE?

The rollup counts 313 donors and 14,108 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a nursing-board headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
