Highest Paid NP for 2015, According to AANP, Are NNPs

Published

Neonatal nurse Practioners were the highest paid with psych coming in second. Becoming a NNP is my ultimate goal. In junior high I wanted to become a neonatologist but quickly learned that being an MD was not my thing but when I find out about NICU RNs and NNPs I realized how this was a specialty that I was molded for. I could careless if it was 70k, I'd be doing what I love and that's what matters.:).

Hello does anyone out there realize that we NPs get reimburse by Medicare and other insurance companies at 85% of what the MD bills with the same CPT code. Therefore at a minimum we should all check the average salary of the MD or DO of our specialty and get 85% of that. Do the math. It's way over the 90-100k mark. If we all don't band together, we'll be stuck at the 50-60$ per hour wage. I say stand up and demand it.
