Educational levels of hospital nurses and surgical patient mortality

Article Abstract:

Hospitals that hire nurses who have a college degree in nursing may have lower mortality rates among their surgery patients, according to a study of 232,342 surgery patients at 168 hospitals. For each 10% increase in the percentage of nurses with college degrees at a particular hospital, 30-day mortality rates dropped 5%. Many US nurses have an associate degree from a community college or a diploma from a hospital training program.
