The survey is taken over the internet at RNSurvey.com

RNsurvey.com
Nurses complete the survey on the internet. Prior to the survey, each nurse is given a letter announcing the survey that includes a survey access code. When they log on to www.RNsurvey.com, they enter the access code and begin taking the survey. The survey takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. In our experience, unlike so many surveys nurses are asked to complete, this survey is one they want to take because RN retention and recruitment directly affects them.

You can view and print your survey results instantly
You may view and print your survey reports in real-time from our secure web site as your nurses are completing the survey. The core report provides over forty different breakdowns of survey results plus you can cut and slice your results anyway you want. The following is just one example of what a report will look like.
