New Reports on NP Compensation

There are some new reports out on NP pay, for those who are interested.  NP pay is increasing, but continues to vary widely by location.

One other thing to focus on in job comparisons is the benefits package. Not reflected in base pay, that can really be a game changer. I know that my salary may not be the highest but my medical coverage is outstanding, and I will have a great retirement package with medical benefits and full tuition coverage for two of my kids at our state university. That's a $20K raise for each year they're in school (two kids x 4 years). That benefit applies to all employees of the organization so I guess it's not really NP specific, but it makes a lower base salary pretty easy to accept when my medical out of pocket went from $6K to about $100 yearly.
