Hi,
I've just started thinking about doing a direct-entry master's program in Boston. Because of the high cost of many of these programs (MGHIHP, BC, Simmons, Northeastern...) I'm interested about what the starting pay for an NP in the Boston area might be. I'm thinking about going into Adult Primary Care or Women's Health, if that's helpful.

Thanks!

Hey there- I don't really have a response for you, but I am in the exact same boat- keep in touch! Are there any reputable programs you've found that are less than 100k? What's your background? I have a BS in Psych and am looking into the same programs...

I graduated from the Masters' Entry program at Boston College last May. The cost for me (tuition and fees only) was about $72,000. The UMASS program (in Worcester) is less expensive if you are a MA resident. Starting salaries for new grad FNPs in Boston ranged from mid-70s to 90,000 as of last summer.
