Salary and pay question for new NP

Specialties NP

Published

This question is for all practice NP. I'm currently an RN/BSN working on med/ surg floor my pay as PRN if I work fulltime meaning 3 days a week I would take home after taxes roughly 35k. I'm cutting the hour and going back to school BSN-DNP. My pay now is nearly to nothing. My husband doesn't want me to work while going to school. He wants me to focus and not fail. I want to keep working maybe little bit not entirely quitting. Now my initial thought were darn if I can work the same amount of hours now and get pay twice as much with NP I would be happy. Now I don't know what the project pay is for FNP with DNP. Can anybody give me some number? Thanks!

Wow I am an LPN Working in the south and I make quite a bit more than 18-19 hr. Its confusing because I plan on continuing my education real soon. I've been an Lpn for a few years and from what I'm hearing My lpn experience is irrevelant once I upgrade to an RN. I would hate to go back to being treated like a new grad again. Please someone offer me some advice.:sarcastic:[/quote']

Unfortunately, you will be the new kid on the block. That's just the nature of the beast. Your luck depends on if they like you. I'm on the other hand half like me half don't like me lol.
