I am currently an RN in Florida struggling with the decision to get my Master's and pursue my NP. I make 100,000 working 3 12's a week. This is a prn position that never gets cancelled. I make my own schedule and can work as much or as little as I want. However, because I travel to several hospitals locally and am PRN getting higher pay I have no medical benefits or PTO. I feel as though this is the max I am going to make as an RN. I am having a very hard time finding starting salaries for NP's in my area. There are a lot of job listings but no salaries / schedules posted. So here is my question ...do I go back for 3 more years of schooling ? If so, what type of pay increase would this entail? Is it enough to be worth the extra schooling ? Are there options of still having a 12 hr shift schedule in this field ? I am so close to committing but struggling because my search for information has come up with limited results. Any local NP's in the Florida (Tampa) area or really any NP advice at all would be great ! TIA
