I have been talking to NP's across different specialties and some make upwards of $220,000/year after taxes. I was wondering if you are currently working as a NP and are willing to share the following:

Specialty

Salary

Thank you for sharing.

60 minute evals-charge the full $125; 30 minute med checks-charge $62.50; usually see 2-3 evals a day; the rest are med checks; my schedule is full for the whole 8 hour day

good post for those who are thinking becoming APN, or just curious about the salary.

Salaries do vary in range base on > experience, specialty, on 'yr' attitude, and luck. >$200,000 > $300,000 salary range for NP is definitely in 90's% salary range (usually salary in such range in my experience may go to: psych, plastic surgery, botox/fillers, anesthesia, high-up administrative position, surgery/procedures, it is realistic to make such salary if you are in the right place at the right time).

NP can make >200k and >300K without overtime - may be yes without benefits, not all.

NP do have families and kids and time off idk what are you getting your facts .

NP have to legislate and advocate for him / her self and others.

We work hard, and do bring $ to the employer.

And, finally I am very proud for all NPs who own medical practices, that is great and ambitious.

Wow jb30! In what state do you live?

I am trying to decide which route to take to get me NP. My problem is I am genuinely interested in EVERYTHING! I know the demand for Psych NPs in my area is very high so maybe that is something I should look further into.

TBH I'd be ecstatic to make 50+ dollars/hour if it meant I could work much less to make the same amount I make now as an RN. Work/life balance is my #1 priority.

Please reconsider. A total lack of business sense added to the over supply of new grads is killing our wages. I'm not certain people recognize the responsibility that comes with being a diagnostician and prescriber. Its unfortunate.

Hi, I'm an NP in Baltimore with both AGACNP and FNP certification, and I will graduate from a PMHNP program in August. Very interested in learning more about Psych NP jobs in this area if you are willing to share information. Been working as an NP at the two big academic hospitals in the city for 4 years now. Will have way too much student debt to continue doing so, though, once I graduate. Thank you.
