Book excerpt: Data on the numbers, distribution, and characteristics of nursing personnel and potential nursing resources are essential in planning health programs which will keep pace with changing health care requirements, in evaluating the outcome of the programs, and as baseline data for research studies and other investigations. Within the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, the Division of Nursing is responsible for the compilation and continual analysis of these data. They are used extensively by the Division, by other units of the Department, by various Government agencies, planning groups, and by public and private organizations concerned with health manpower. This publication has been prepared in answer to numerous requests for updated source book materials, and to an increasing awareness of the need for their compilation. It presents the most recent data available for the States and the Nation in late 1974, continues the time series that are not included in other publications, and discusses similarities, differences, and limitations of various nurse manpower surveys, interrelated with new definitions and new trends. We hope that this systematic compilation and analysis of available data will provide for its users not only a useful reference volume, but also some bases for in-depth studies of specific variables which comprise the body of statistical knowledge of nursing personnel.
