This article uses data from the Occupational Employment Statistics survey to examine trends in labor market outcomes for registered nurses from 2002 to 2015. Special attention is paid to the 2007–10 period, which encompasses the Great Recession. The analysis reveals that nursing employment and wages increased during the recession, lending support to previous research suggesting that nursing is a recession-proof, countercyclical profession.
