NP Job Market and Pay in Boston Area?


I'm just wondering if any Boston-area NP students or recent graduates can give me an idea of how easy or difficult is to get a practitioner job in the Boston area, is there a lot of competition to get jobs, and what kind of pay and benefits are available? I know it can vary from state to state, and none of the available job listings I read on the internet seem to give pay information. Thank you!

I live in the vicinity of Boston and since I continue to look into positions available, I have seen many job postings for Boston. I suggest checking the site Indeed.com. There you will find many positions listed for this area some with salary info.

I graduated in May 2009 as an FNP and really had no trouble finding a job. I took a lower paying job in a community health center so I would be eligible for a National Health Service contract for loan forgiveness. The risk paid off as I was awarded the contract. All of my FNP classmates had jobs within 6-8 weeks of graduation. I believe the other specialties (adult, pedi, women's) faced more of a challenge finding positions. I'm not sure how the market is for psych, as the one person I knew has only recently started looking for a position. Indeed.com is a great place to look for positions. I would also recommend joining the MA Coalition of Nurse Practitioners, as they have very active job listings. I have seen salary ranges run from 75,000 to 90,000 for new grads.
