As you probably already know, this varies greatly by location and cost of living. A couple years ago I checked salary reviews on Glassdoor.com-in my experience they were pretty accurate and gave me a good idea of what to expect for an offer. What is good money for the job in my area would be considered crap in others, and I’d say the cost of living here is average-wages justified by one employer by ‘we pay you with sunshine’...no, it’s an added bonus from the state-and rainbows and butterflies weren’t included.
Your school should also be able to give you wage expectations, at least locally. Best of luck with the job search.

Many of us have been APRNs for many years so this isn't really going to help you. Will move to student NP where people are looking for their first APRN job. Best wishes
