Family nurse practitioner salary in Memphis,TN

As funny as this seems, the range you gave anywhere between $65K and $100K I think is absolutely correct here in Tennessee. The upper range of that is likely highly experienced individuals working in acute care settings or in a specialty office OR they are working in pain management with high patient volumes and writing controlled substances all day to folks who turn around and sell it, which is a problem in some rural areas here. I know of someone who made $250K last year doing that, but to me, there is absolutely no price tag on a solid reputation and practicing with integrity. I would beware if someone offered you a lot of money as a new NP, when others seems to be struggling to find jobs in your particular area.

I am an NP with 9 years experience. I am in Eastern Tennessee and make 100K + bonus. I work in a acute care setting and work nights, weekends and holidays. I work 5 days and have 5 days off ( work 180 days per year). In contrast to others preferences I cannot stand M-F 9 to 5 schedule & traveling in rush hour crap. Plus myy body clock is stay up till 4 and sleep till noon anyways and my husband is a musician and his hours are late too. And working weekends and holidays is a fantastic reason to get out of stuffy social gatherings or holiday events we both cannot stand. Me and my hubby and boys (teenagers) get to enjoy our own private holiday celebrations around our schedule and prefer it that way. It is absolutely a perfect schedule for us. When I use to work M-F no weekends or holidays I made about 80k year after 3 years experience. As a New grad I made 72K to start out.

Why feel guilty just because you are providing your patients pain management?? Is there something wrong with that?? I am not getting this. You should be proud and content that you are taking away pain from so many patients who are desparate to get rid of their pain.
