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.
