    JeanettePNP replied to nowit3's topic in Nursing Career

    JeanettePNP replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's true that an experienced RN will make more than a new grad NP. However, after a few years the NP will surpass the experienced RN in salary. Obviously the calculus will be different for each...
