The WCN Wisconsin 2012 Registered Nursing Survey Report Analysis and its accompanying documents were accomplished with the support of many individuals and partners.

In addition, we want to thank Jeffery B. Henriques, PhD, Department of Psychology, UW-Madison who was the statistician for this significant work.
We are grateful to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD), without whose assistance, our work would not be possible. This important survey yields critical information on the status of the workforce in Wisconsin and serves as a foundation to address predicted future nursing shortages which will impact the healthcare in our state. We are also grateful to the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) for making the survey accessible to the thousands of nurses in our state, the nurses of Wisconsin for their cooperation in responding to the 2012 RN Survey.
