2017 Survey Data
Nurses scheduled to renew their license in 2017 received a postcard from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) informing them of their license renewal period along with instructions for beginning the online renewal process. The postcard also included an invitation for completing the 2017 Survey of Michigan Nurses which was available through two online options: 1)click on a survey link located at the end of the license renewal online process; 2)use the survey’s direct URL address listed on the postcard. In previous years, surveys were also mailed to all nurses scheduled to renew their license during that year, giving nurses an option to complete the survey by mail or online. However, the mail option was discontinued for 2017 leaving the online option as the only method for completing the survey.
There were a total of 86,080 nurses scheduled to renew their license in 2017. A total of 38,926 nurses responded. The license renewal period spanned from January 1 to March 31, 2017. An additional one month grace period allowed for license renewals to take place as late as April 30, 2017. Since nurses had the option to complete the survey by visiting the survey’s direct URL (listed on the postcard notification), the survey administration period was expanded beyond this interval and ran from December 15, 2016 to May 15, 2017. Because nurses were not required to go through the license renewal process to take the survey, it’s possible for nurses not planning to renew their license to have also completed the survey. It was, however, anticipated that the likelihood of this occurring was fairly minimal.
