What RN donors give in federal races
Donors who entered RN as occupation account for $13,061,591 in itemized federal receipts in LobbyVault’s index of FEC.gov files. That sum sits on 189,744 contributions from 3,449 donor records. RN is a credential abbreviation used as occupation text, not NURSE and not REGISTERED NURSE. In compact form the occupation total is $13.1 million.
Key figures
- RN itemizations sum to $13,061,591 from 189,744 contributions and 3,449 donors.
- Repeat itemizing is about 55 contributions per donor record; mean line size is about $69.
- NURSE and REGISTERED NURSE are separate occupation keys and are not rolled into RN.
- Occupation is donor-supplied Form 3/3X text, not a nursing-board roster.
Highest nursing-abbreviation line count
$13,061,591 is the occupation-level dollar total. 189,744 is the itemization count. 3,449 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $69. Mean dollars per donor record are about $3,787. Repeat giving is about 55 itemizations per donor record.
189,744 lines from 3,449 records is a high-repeat pattern — more itemizations than NURSE or REGISTERED NURSE in this harvest, on a similar donor-pool size. The per-line mean of about $69 is among the smallest means in this band, so the contribution count explains the headline dollars.
These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no license-verification field and no gift-size distribution.
RN is not NURSE and not REGISTERED NURSE
NURSE and REGISTERED NURSE are neighboring occupation keys in this harvest. This page cites only RN: $13,061,591, 189,744 contributions, and 3,449 donors. Those other strings stay outside the total unless the bulk extract normalized them to RN.
The FEC record does not verify an RN license. Donors who typed nurse or registered nurse land in other hubs. The two-letter abbreviation can also collide with non-nursing uses of RN. Occupation is the donor’s typed word.
Reading the three facts together
A citation that showed only $13,061,591 would hide that the money arrived in 189,744 pieces. A citation that showed only 3,449 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 $13.1 million.
Occupation versus industry for an RN abbreviation
Industry pages group employers. A hospital RN and a school RN share this occupation string if they typed RN. Adding occupation dollars to a health-care industry total double-counts overlapping itemizations.
Open the RN occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to see NURSE and REGISTERED NURSE as separate keys. Do not add the three nursing strings and call the result nurse giving.
Limits and source
Occupation is free text. Extra words (RN BSN, retired RN) create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to RN. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.
Source: FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault. Quote occupation equals RN, then $13,061,591, 189,744 contributions, and 3,449 donors.
Abbreviation key without a board match
RN in this extract is $13,061,591 on 189,744 itemizations from 3,449 donor records, or $13.1 million in compact millions. Arithmetic means are about $69 per contribution and about $3,787 per donor record, with roughly 55 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. NURSE and REGISTERED NURSE 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 $13,061,591. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals RN, dollars equal $13,061,591, contributions equal 189,744, donors equal 3,449. Live hub filters may change displayed sums; this file restates harvested packet facts only.
189,744 itemizations is more lines than NURSE or REGISTERED NURSE in this harvest, on a similar donor-pool size, which is why the mean line of about $69 is among the smallest in this band. RN BSN and retired RN create parallel buckets when they do not normalize to RN. Nursing-board credentials are not verified. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code.
Keep RN on its own line as a credential abbreviation. Compact millions ($13.1 million) are the same headline amount as $13,061,591, rounded to one decimal place. 3,449 is a contributor-record count, not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Quote occupation equals RN, then $13,061,591, 189,744 contributions, and 3,449 donors. The occupations index is the inventory of NURSE and REGISTERED NURSE as separate keys. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side.
Abbreviation RN is 3,449 donor records, 189,744 itemizations, and $13,061,591 — more lines than NURSE or REGISTERED NURSE in this harvest. Mean line size of about $69 is among the smallest in this band. Nursing-board lists are not joined. Do not add the three nursing strings. Quote the three RN facts only.
Nursing-board numbers are not in the packet. 3,449 donor records is not a unique-person estimate after name matching. Restate the citation as occupation equals RN, dollars equal $13,061,591, contributions equal 189,744, donors equal 3,449.

- Why are there so many RN contributions?
- 189,744 itemizations from 3,449 donors implies about 55 contributions per donor record. Repeat itemizing raises the line count. Mean line size is about $69. The packet does not split causes. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
- Does listing RN prove an active nursing license?
- No. Occupation is self-reported free text. The FEC record does not verify a nursing-board credential. Quote 189,744 contributions and 3,449 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.
