What does a male nurse practioner do?

Nurses Men

Published

Hey everyone! After I get my BSN I plan to get my MSN to become a nurse practioner or higher. Can anyone please tell me what work in like in that area? I would also like to know a salary for a nurse practioner if anyone is willing to tell. I know this may be irrelevant but what kind of car do most high paid nurses drive? I am greatful for all the info I get! :)

Specializes in Leadership, Psych, HomeCare, Amb. Care.

A male nurse practioner would do exactly the same thing a female nurse practioner in the same specialty.

Salary ranges can be found online: Salary.com etc

The car depends on what any particular nurse likes, and needs.

What is it you want to do?

Maybe you need to find an APN & buy him or her a cup of coffee and pick their brain

Specializes in LTC, Memory loss, PDN.
:rolleyes:

Funny you should ask about the car. I saw a Mercedes sports model with nurse vanity plates just the day before yesterday and I had a DON who used to drive a BMW. A very big BMW. Most of the rest of us drive what we can get on the cheap and still keep in good repair.

I'm only an RN but I want to get to be a FNP, so I ride a BMW R1150R.

Really impresses everyone unless it's raining, cold or snowing. Then I have to drive my 12 year old Taurus.

And by the way, there is at least one thing male NPs can do that female NPs can't. I'll leave it to you to figure out what it is.

(off topic sorry) good choice of ride (mines a BMW F800GS) but to put it away in the rain, there's a name for that in the UK :lol2:

To Daniel the OP, there is a nurse practitioner forum on this site as well, you will find lots of information in there about salaries, roles and scopes of nurse practitioners across the US

Full disclosure: The Bimmer is off the road with a fried wire harness. My Darmah has some weird electrical gremlin that I can't seem to get rid of. So my daily ride is a humble WeeStrom - which is actually a terrific little machine.

I kind of like riding in the rain but do opt for the cage for the morning commute when it's really pi**ing out there.

Is this post for real?!

It's hard to take you question seriously.

What does a male NP do? The same as any NP. The job description isn't gender based.

Specializes in Cardiac.

"What does a male nurse practioner do?"

The same as a female nurse practioner.

Seriously?

Well I guess I'm not one of the high paid APNs because I drive a2010 Toyota highlander. Have had it 4 months and have 10k on it.
