What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

Specialties NP Nursing Q/A

Hi everyone. I'm curious as to see what an actual paycheck (before taxes) looks like from an NP. I find salary websites to be not very helpful. So...

What type NP are you?

Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice?

Are you independent or in a group?

How many years experience?

What is your before tax paycheck amount?

Monthly or bi-weekly?

Salary/hourly/other(explain)?

Avg hours on check?

What are the perks of your contract? (ie. PTO/vacation/bonuses)

I know this is very personal, but if you are able to provide input, I would appreciate it! I'm mainly interested also to see after the gov/operational costs etc have taken their share, how much are you left with?

Great posting. It helped me a lot.

How many patients are you seeing in a day now and expected number of patients that you will see later? thank you.

Is your company national? It would be a huge benefit to me to have someone else drive due to personal circumstances.

Your post was very informative but I wonder if it's still the case in El Paso today. I got admission to do my 15 month BSN starting in Jan 2015 and hoping to start a 15 Month FNP program at University of PA shortly after. I live in Michigan now and hoping to move to El Paso when I'm done with these programs. I will PM you something if you wouldn't mind.

Most of these salaries are not 40hr/week. Read between the lines; some have 3-4 jobs.

Most of them say how many hours a week or either biweekly. I don't remember any having 3 or 4 jobs. Is someone jealous or what?

Go read again..full time jobs + side gigs. See how petty you are? Calling someone jealous for voicing an opinion. Oh well, at least you did not say 'hater'....

I'm Sorry. I don't remember seeing many posts like that where they worked more than 40 hours a week. Most of the ones I see in this thread list 40hrs weekly or 80 biweekly.

Great post! Thanks everyone for such informative details! As someone mentioned Salary info changes by the minute it is vital to have continuos current information😉 so thanks everyone ! I have to say as an RN I get payed 80,000 my sign on bonus was 2500 , they reimburse mileage and tolls , I work in home health , NYC area , I'm shocked at this pay rates as an NP as low as 83000 a year , what in the world? That's scary 😐

Depends on geographical location.

Is this thread closed? Because if there are any pediatric nurse practitioners or NNP's out there, I would like to know how much you're making! I'm currently second semester of my Pediatric NP program and I love it! I just don't know what/how much I should expect to make as a new grad NP and also once I become an experienced NP.
