What is the HealthyNurse® survey?
The American Nurse Association has been measuring nurses’ well-being in some capacity since 2013. The HealthyNurse® survey is the current tool used to collect nurse health data and is the cornerstone of HNHN research.
Using validated scales and measures, the survey aims to be a monitoring tool to understand trends in nurse health so that HNHN can act quickly to respond to nurses’ needs.
The survey is designed to be applicable to anyone, including any type of nurse, nursing student, or advanced practice nurse.
It consists of a maximum of 74 questions, depending on skip logic, and takes an average of about 10 minutes to complete.
What does the HealthyNurse® survey measure?
The HealthyNurse® survey captures all six of the HNHN key domain areas of focus — mental health, physical activity, nutrition, rest, quality of life, and safety.
The survey also aligns with the following validated measures to capture items within each domain area of focus:
- The International Physical Activity Questionnaire
- A shortened Healthy Eating Index Survey
- Body Mass Index measurements
- PROMIS scales
- CDC’s Health Related Quality of Life questions
What is the sample?

Why should I take the HealthyNurse® survey?
The HealthyNurse® survey is a personalized wellness assessment that will help you understand the full picture and identify areas of strength and growth.
We invite you to take the survey so that you can dig into your personalized heatmap result and begin your #healthynurse journey.
How do I read my personalized heatmap result?
Upon completion of the survey, you will receive a personalized heat map result where each circular band represents your overall risk for mental health, physical activity, nutrition, quality of life, rest, and safety. The lower your risk, the more complete your band will be!
Your result will also share an index score in the center of the circle that is an average measure of your overall risk. This score can be compared year over year when you re-take the survey annually and are presented with a new heat map that you can use to understand your growth.
Once you review your result, you can click through each domain to learn how your risk is calculated and identify specific areas for improvement. We hope that your result will inspire you to identify goals, build your action plan and take advantage of HNHN resources, challenges, and the community to explore strategies for success.
