All percentages reported in the table are presented as weighted estimates that reflect Michigan’s overall nurse population. For example, in 2017, of nurses who responded in the survey they are white, 28.2% had a LPN diploma/certificate as their first nursing degree and a RN diploma/associate degree as their highest level of education.
a Respondents were instructed to mark all racial categories that apply.
b Associate degrees were included with RNs because many who start with an associate degree now have an RN degree as their highest level of education. Additionally, LPNs who did not answer the survey question about their highest level of education were categorized in the LPN diploma category. For this reason, sample size numbers may vary across tables.
