Part timeNP salary

TexasNP14 · Jan 5, 2018

I worked as a bedside nurse for 10+ years before starting my NP career. The answer is yes I make more than I did as a bedside nurse, considered an hourly employee, and I work part time. If I fill in extra hours I continue to get paid hourly for that time.

I work 3 8hr shifts/wk as FNP. I make twice what I made as a BSN. i have only been an RN for 5 years so my pay was low.

So 24 hours = more than full time BSN salary?

I thought NPs make around 90-100, PT would be 50K but dont most nurses make more than 50k?

Im a bit confused seen so many differences in NP salaries across the board

There is a considerable difference in NP salaries. I've seen from $80,000-$185,000 annually. The original question isn't set up properly because a part time salary is basically a percentage of the expected full time salary, although sometimes a bit higher if no benefits. The OP really needs to know what the salary would be in their area and specialty to apply 0.5FTE etc.

I made $22/hr as a BSN, I make $45/hr as a NP

You also need to consider that part-time employment will rarely be offered to new NP's. In general, you will need to work full-time for a year or two before going part-time. It's very difficult to gain proficiency as a new NP only working 20hrs a week.

That being said, my hourly salary is almost exactly twice what my RN salary was, so theoretically you could make about what a full-time RN makes as a part-time NP.

You also need to factor in some specifics. Is it a somewhat benefitted part-time or a contingent operation where no benefits are offered. When I worked as a PACU float for a hospital system, I was paid 42/hour (in Michigan) with no benefits and no PTO. Vacation was on my dime and whenever I chose not to schedule myself. An NP working a somewhat benefited part-time will make more than this, but not a ton more.

Wow so an NP's salary in Michigan is only around 85K???

Were you working in a clinic, at home, administrative role, or on the floor

It will take me 5 years to get my DNP and if in the end im only making $85k that is a huge time and financial commitment to risk esp since i want to live in MI/IL/OH

No that pay rate was as a float RN in Pacu... basically contingent. Which is on the high side for an RN here. Albeit I did just interview at a clinic that is offering 75-90 for an aprn, but they are new to the advance practice game (only hired physicians in the past) and I will probably only accept 90k as I currently make 75k as a pain RN. There may also be more to that pay scale as we aren't to the point of discussing offers yet.

On that same note, my wife is an ADN whose worked her way through senior living to manage 14 nurses across 12 communities and makes 105k plus gets paid mileage and lodging when she travels 3 plus hours to those communities once or twice a month. She certainly did something right.

OMG I hope you are living in an area with the cheapest cost of living known to man.
