Note. RN = registered nurse; LPN = licensed practical nurse. Facilities that have staffing scores and expenditures below 1st and above 99th percentiles are excluded from the sample. Results are obtained using facility and time fixed effects controlling for other covariates. Standard errors in parentheses are clustered at the facility level.
