NP Salary Factors
One of the most often-asked questions is "What is the salary of a Nurse Practitioner?"
The answer to that question depends on several factors that affect nursing salaries. As in almost
any profession, the location of your residence is a determining factor. Nurse Practioners in New York are likely to make a higher salary than if he/she is practicing in South Carolina.
Other factors that determine an NP's salary can be their qualifications, work setting, and most of all, experience. The salary of Nurse Practitioner with 15-20 years of experience is going to be dramatically different than the salary of a beginner at the first job right out of school.
The type of practice in which you are employed will make your salary vary as much as $10,000-$11,000 per year. While we don't have the room here to compare all locations, below is a list of the basic nurse practitioner jobs with the median average pay across the country.
It's interesting to compare these salaries to those of a Licensed Registered Nurse (RN) which averages $46,800 to $73,200. This information was gathered from www.payscale.com:
