NP making six figures?

Dave ARNP · Jan 23, 2004

Are you with the IRS?

Yes I do. One of the perks of co-owning a practice.

I will say this. The aveage salary for a Family Medicine PHYSICIAN is 150,00, as per this months Advance for NP's.

Both the MD I work with AND myself make more than that.

Dave, who wonders if ya'll thought he lived off his DOCTOR WIFE :)

So, basically your are saying the money is in a family np and not say a neonatal np? What I am seying in the money is not in working in a hospital setting?

Making the money I do requires alot and I mean ALOT of effort.

Clinic 8hrs a day, 4hours a day in the hospital doing rounds and inpatient care on the people we've admitted. Plus we're on the schedule for 12hr ER coverage, where doc and myself cover the entire ER for 12, sometimes longer, hours.

Dollar/hr you would probably make more doing a NNNP or PNP over a FNP. I am certified as both ACNP and FNP. I did a ACNP program as a masters, and then did a FNP post masters.

So your saying nnnp, do make a pretty good salary. I mean I have researched online and all I can get is that np's in general start out at 65,000. But that does not tell me much. I wanted to know if neonatal is at the lower or higher end of np salaries. Not that salary is everything, but I feel I should know about all my options in depth.

According to Advance for NP's new 2004 survery, the average salary for NNNP's was 73,796.

If I recall right you're from HI? Maybe? ::brain freeze::

Average salary for any NP in HI is 66,658

Also in the survey snippets section,

They highest paid salary for a Np who filled out their survey was $165,000. Lowest was 30,000.

Youngest respondent was 24, oldest 71 and the average age was 43.

And Adrie, my wife is less than five years older than I am... and makes twice what I do ::growls::

I suggest anyone wanting to make more than 6 figures go into practice for yourself, after spending $20,000 or more in grad school 67,000 is not very much, most adn/rn's could make that by just pulling an extra 10 hours overtime. Also for you students or those thinking about going to grad school for NPN, keep in mind certain areas of the country, that are saturated with NP'S (particularly the north east)- NP's are making the same salary as RN's- as their services are no more in demand than an RN. Everyone is not "private -practice" minded, so incorporating some Health Administration classes in your schedule should allow you to gain the necessary education to run a business for yourself.
