RN occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle

RN as occupation, 2008 as the cycle

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation RN and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $492,318, 990 contributions, and 446 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. Registered nurse, nurse, R.N., and LPN 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 payroll. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.

Parent hubs: Rn donations at /occupations/rn/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $492,318 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.

Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for RN in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $492,318. Shift type, facility type, and RN versus advanced-practice credentials is unpublished for RN in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. Hundreds of donor keys and nearly a thousand lines is a broad two-letter clinical cell in an earlier presidential window.

The same RN abbreviation, a 2008 clock

$13.1 million ($13,061,591) belongs to the exact string RN across harvested cycles. It is not an NCSBN license census, a state board roster, or a hospital payroll. People who wrote nearby wording — registered nurse, nurse, R.N., and LPN — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 3.8% of that title bucket ($492,318 of $13,061,591). Share of RN is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $12,569,273, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.

Amended individual contribution reports can move $492,318. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $13,061,591. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Rn 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 $492,318.

446 RN donors and 990 receipts in 2008

446 donors and 990 receipts — about 2.2 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $497; mean per donor about $1,104. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. Hundreds of donor keys and nearly a thousand lines is a broad two-letter clinical cell in an earlier presidential window. No median is published in this packet.

Repeat gifts add receipts. 990 is a line count, not 446 one-time gifts. Shift type, facility type, and RN 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 RN. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $492,318. Do not add the 2012 RN cell to this 2008 figure. Each cycle is its own join against the same occupation total.

2008 cell versus the 2012 RN join

Cite $492,318 as RN in 2008. Cite $13,061,591 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 $492,318 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 3.8%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode RN 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. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.

How to cite RN money in 2008

A clean footnote names occupation RN, election cycle 2008, $492,318 in itemized individual contributions, 990 receipts, and 446 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $497 per line and $1,104 per donor in the cell. If the live Rn donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 990 as unique workers in the trade named by RN.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Rn donations rolls every cycle into one RN running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the RN × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 990 receipts and $492,318. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.

Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and the 2012 RN cell

The occupation hub still holds $12,569,273 outside 2008. Most of the $13,061,591 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. Do not add the 2012 RN cell to this 2008 figure. Each cycle is its own join against the same occupation total. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 2.2. That ratio is 990 divided by 446, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
