I am in the process of applying for the HPSP as a nurse practitioner through the AF. I graduate this May with my BSN and the NP program will begin two weeks later. I have a few questions.
What is the salary for someone who receives the HPSP and graduates as a NP with 0 experience? I know in the civilian sector jobs for NP's straight out of school range 75k and up. I am wondering if pay in the military will be comparable once all benefits have been factored.
Does anyone know what the current sign on bonus is for someone being accepted into this program?
If anyone can answer these questions for me I will be greatly appreciative. I have asked the recruiter but I think he wants to wait until I have been fully accepted before telling me about the pay.
