a 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.
b Doctorate degrees include PhD, DNP, DNAP, or other nursing doctorate degrees.
