participation in a collective bargaining unit,. Nurses generally receive more compensation in larger facilities. These findings show the calculated average compensation for nurses who spend an average amount of time on direct patient care for their title. Facilities are categorized as small or large based on a median split of the number of ORs reported, where “small” is defined as 10 or fewer ORs and “large” is defined as more than 10 ORs. This analysis and the compensation analyses that follow include only perioperative nurses who were employed full-time in the United States when they took the survey. Still, the sample is sufficiently representative of the perioperative nurse population that statistical tests can provide insight.Ī summary of the base compensation findings categorized by job title and facility size is shown in Table 2. It should be noted that the sample is not perfectly random because the net response rate was modest (4.5%). We performed statistical analyses to identify the factors that have the most influence on perioperative nursing compensation. Nurse informaticists, consultants, business managers, faculty, researchers, safety officers, chief nursing officers, vice presidents (VPs), and assistant VPs each comprised less than 1% of the sample. The final sample size is slightly smaller (−0.2%) than the 2018 sample.Īs shown in Figure 1, 53% of the respondents were staff nurses, 17% were managers (ie, nurse manager, supervisor, coordinator, team leader), 10% were high-level managers (ie, director, assistant director of nursing) or hospital/facility administrators, 6% were educators (ie, faculty or staff development), 7% were charge nurses, 4% were RN first assistants, and 1% were clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners. This criterion reduced the usable sample to 3,712 individuals, for a 4.5% net response rate. 
Because the primary focus of this study is perioperative nursing compensation, respondents who did not answer key compensation-related questions were excluded.
By July 9, 5,708 unique responses had been received. As an incentive, participants were eligible to enter a raffle to win any one of three $100 gift cards, two $250 gift cards, or one $500 gift card. In mid-June, 81,712 potential respondents (including 39,207 AORN members) received an electronic invitation to participate in the survey (AORN has more than 39,207 members, but not all members opt to receive e-mail communications or have e-mail addresses).
The survey also addressed job satisfaction, potential nursing turnover, and the reasons why some nurses are actively considering leaving their jobs. This survey was part of a continuing market research study that tracks compensation changes on a yearly basis and seeks to identify factors that influence how much perioperative nurses are paid. In June 2019, AORN surveyed its members and some nonmembers to examine the status of perioperative nursing compensation in the United States.
