Registered Nurse donations in the 2008 FEC cycle

Filers who listed Registered Nurse itemized $844,645 in FEC individual contributions in the 2008 presidential cycle — 1,237 receipts from 609 donors. Nurse without registered is a different occupation key. The occupation string REGISTERED NURSE sums to $13.7 million ($13,695,700) across harvested cycles; this 2008 cell is 6.2% of that sum. FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This page is the join of the Registered Nurse occupation table and the 2008 election-cycle table, not a restatement of either hub.

Key figures

  • Registered Nurse × 2008: $844,645.
  • 1,237 receipts from 609 donors.
  • 6.2% of the $13,695,700 REGISTERED NURSE total.
  • Filer-entered occupation; nursing-union and hospital PAC filings are a different table.

Registered Nurse × 2008

REGISTERED NURSE plus cycle 2008 equals $844,645. 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. Nurse, RN, nurse practitioner, and nursing are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an NCSBN license census, a state board roster, or a hospital nursing payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet.

Parent hubs: Registered Nurse donations at /occupations/registered-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 $844,645 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Registered Nurse in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $844,645. Hospital versus clinic versus school nursing is unpublished for Registered Nurse in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees.

REGISTERED NURSE, not the shorter nurse key

$13.7 million ($13,695,700) belongs to the exact string REGISTERED NURSE across harvested cycles. It is not an NCSBN license census, a state board roster, or a hospital nursing payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — nurse, RN, nurse practitioner, and nursing — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 6.2% of that title bucket. Share of REGISTERED NURSE is not share of all 2008 receipts.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $844,645. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $13,695,700. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Registered 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 $844,645.

1,237 registered-nurse receipts in 2008

609 donors and 1,237 receipts — about 2.0 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $683; mean per donor about $1,387. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. 609 donors makes this a mid-size occupation-cycle cell. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 1,237 is a line count, not 609 one-time gifts; about two lines per donor, which is consistent with repeat gifts inside the same two-year window. Hospital versus clinic versus school nursing is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by REGISTERED NURSE. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $844,645.

RN string versus nursing PACs

Cite $844,645 as Registered Nurse in 2008. Cite $13,695,700 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 $844,645 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 6.2%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode REGISTERED 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 registered-nurse money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation REGISTERED NURSE, election cycle 2008, $844,645 in itemized individual contributions, 1,237 receipts, and 609 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $683 per line and $1,387 per donor in the cell. If the live Registered Nurse donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,237 as unique workers in the trade.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Registered Nurse donations rolls every cycle into one REGISTERED NURSE running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Registered Nurse × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,237 receipts and $844,645. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
