This paper studied the factors that influence on RN staffing level in the 43 Specialized general hospitals. Market structure was analysed using the monopsony model. The degree of competition was estimated by Herfindal Index and market was defined as Great medical zone. As the result of the estimation, in the more competitive hospital market hospitals employed the higher level of RN staffing. so monopsony model was supported. Hospitale, with above 1001bed employed more RN than Hospitals with below 700bed did. Hospital type, hospital union and the number of medical doctor did not affect the level of RN staffing. There was positive correlation between the level of RN staffing and the number of nurses aid. The structure of RN market in Specified general hospitals was proved monopsony market. it seems that government regulation will be needed to improve social efficiency and equity.
