Nurse donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Nurse × 2008

NURSE plus cycle 2008 equals $837,352. That figure is the harvested sum of itemized individual contributions in which the occupation field matched this string and the two-year federal election cycle was 2008. Registered nurse, RN, LPN, and nurse practitioner are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into a state nursing-board census, an ANA membership roll, or a hospital staffing file. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Nurse donations at /occupations/nurse/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $837,352 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Nurse in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $837,352. RN versus LPN versus advanced-practice credentials is unpublished for Nurse in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

NURSE as a one-word occupation

$15.0 million ($15,033,909) belongs to the exact string NURSE across harvested cycles. It is not a state nursing-board census, an ANA membership roll, or a hospital staffing file. People who wrote nearby wording — registered nurse, RN, LPN, and nurse practitioner — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 5.6% of that title bucket. Share of NURSE is not share of all 2008 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $837,352. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $15,033,909. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Nurse donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $837,352.

999 nurse receipts in a presidential year

520 donors and 999 receipts — about 1.9 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $838; mean per donor about $1,610. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 520 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 999 is a line count, not 520 one-time gifts; receipts sit close to the donor count, so many people in the cell appear on a small number of lines. RN versus LPN versus advanced-practice credentials is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by NURSE. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $837,352.

Generic nurse versus registered-nurse and PACs

Cite $837,352 as Nurse in 2008. Cite $15,033,909 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add nursing-union and hospital PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $837,352 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 5.6%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode NURSE into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset.

How to cite nurse money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation NURSE, election cycle 2008, $837,352 in itemized individual contributions, 999 receipts, and 520 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $838 per line and $1,610 per donor in the cell. If the live Nurse donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 999 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Nurse donations rolls every cycle into one NURSE running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Nurse × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 999 receipts and $837,352. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
