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.

NURSE

People who wrote NURSE in the employer or occupation field on federal filings account for $3.4M ($3,365,209) in itemized receipts on FEC.gov. LobbyVault counts 14,108 contributions and 313 donors. The title is FEC free text, not a NAICS offices-of-physicians or hospital total, not a nursing-association PAC, and not RN, REGISTERED NURSE, or NURSE PRACTITIONER as sibling keys.

Key figures

NURSE as FEC employer text totals $3.4M ($3,365,209) from 313 donors.
14,108 contribution lines sit under that one-word clinical title.
RN, REGISTERED NURSE, and hospital legal names are separate FEC keys.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or association PAC total.

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.
