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:

Thank you for sharing.

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.
