title: 2001-2002 AANP national nurse practitioner practice site survey.
abstract: Between October 2001 and February 2002, AANP implemented the National NP Practice Site Survey. The purpose of the survey was to describe the general U.S. NP workforce, including the percentage of NPs working in primary care and their settings. Data were collected from over 39,000 NPs of all specialties. Based on the survey, a description of the U.S. NP Workforce was developed. For instance, according to the survey, the average NP is female (95%) and 47 years old. She has been in practice for 8.6 years, is a family NP (35%), and is involved in direct patient practice. This report includes detail on the respondents' clinical specialization, age, years of practice, and type of practice.
