About Us

Since 1986, Nicholas, Regan & Ross has been a leader in supplying local, regional, and national compensation and benefit information to participating hospitals. We provide the information necessary to attract, develop, and retain the talent necessary to succeed. We develop, conduct, and report surveys covering individual states and large metropolitan areas across 46 states. Our surveys are accurate, delivered on time, confidential, and compliant with all regulations. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, we have averaged each year over 2,000 hospitals participating in our surveys. 178 positions are included in the survey, ranging from entry level to senior management.

We report each position by range minimum, midpoint, maximum, and average salary. Also, each position’s salary information is listed by geographic area within the state, major cities, number of beds, state average, and state average without highest paying entity which skews the state average. As demonstrated by the following example:

In addition, survey results for each position also provide information on adjacent states and nationwide average. We do this because hospitals compete on a national level for specific positions, on a regional level for a greater number but on a state or local level for the majority of their positions.

Results identify developments and trends occurring in the marketplace.
