NPs & PAs
METHODOLOGY
Fielded electronically under the Clinician Reviews logo, an introductory email letter signed by the Editors-in-Chief invited participation in the online 3rd annual NP/PA Job Satisfaction Survey of 35 questions.
The survey was fielded October 4, 2018, to a random representative sample of 16,000 NPs and 9,000 PAs within the United States, excluding students. The first 150 respondents to complete the survey received a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate.
A total of 1,207 usable responses—a projectable sample size—were received by October 19, 2018, the final cut-off date.
Of the total respondents, 65% are NPs (789) and 35% are PAs (418), which is proportional to the universe of NPs and PAs.1,2 This summary of results is based on only those respondents who designated their profession as NP or PA.
