title: Results of the 2008 AORN Salary Survey.
abstract: AORN conducted its sixth annual compensation survey for perioperative nurses in August of 2008. A multiple regression model was used to examine how a variety of variables including job title, education level, certification, experience, and geographic region affect nursing compensation. Comparisons between the 2008 and previous years' data are presented. The effects of other forms of compensation, such as on-call compensation, overtime, bonuses, and shift differentials on average base compensation rates also are examined.
