Hi everyone. I'm curious as to see what an actual paycheck (before taxes) looks like from an NP. I find salary websites to be not very helpful. So... What type NP are you? Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice? Are you independent...

Update What type NP are you? FNP Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice? Idaho Hospital inpatient How many years experience? 3 What is your before tax paycheck amount? $145,000 base salary Additional $1000 per weekend of phone call (ave 20 call...

I am not looking to hear the do what you love its about passion. Given you are employed as a DNP in a state that allows full autonomy, which specialty offers the highest compensation? My thoughts would be family nurse practitioner in your own clinic ...

Looking for some insight into the salary of starting up my own practice. DNP-FNP here. There is an FNP I talked to who told me the amount of hassle involved with owning your own clinic isn't worth the increase in salary that comes with it. I understa...

From those of you who are practicing NP's. Is 90,000 dollars (out of state tuition) for an NP program worth it? Is it feasible to pay back? (Please don't fill me up with "it's worth it if you love it" or "it depends on if you can live really cheap to...

As the creator of the thread, It's only fair I leave my data. Been employed 6 months now. What type NP are you? FNP Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice? Idaho; Rural Are you independent or in a group? Employed by an MD in a private clinic How...

Hi everyone, I will be graduating in December as an FNP and recently had a clinic inquire about an employment option. It is in rural Nevada where the current NP is seeing over 30 patients a day and turning down approximately 15 (So she has told me)...

Short answer: You are going to get varied answers. Do what is right for your situation. Does spending an extra 120,000 mean that much for a name? My answer: My thoughts about schools usually upset a lot of people on here, and I'm sure you'll see tho...

Is it still feasible to open your own practice (specifically family) and even grow into a multi-provider clinic where you are the sole proprietor? Or do you feel like the "big guys" such as major hospitals (be in for profit or non profit) and HMOs et...

From your experiences or relations, is it common for NP only practices to generate such a high patient demand for their services? As in to the point that it would be financially beneficial to bring on another provider? I know this depends on how good...

I agree with you, but I am more aiming this after I have some years of experience and confidence in my decision making. I know that things can and will change by then, but if it were by todays regulations and standards, how feasible is this?

Please answer the following questions: What was your first NP job? Where was your first job i.e. state (or however much you care to share)? What year was this? How did the job come about? Also, how many of you were contacted (without applying) while ...

I understand that this is going to vary individually, but I am still interested to know. I understand that every single person is going to have a different take home amount, just as every person is going to have a different salary. I'm just curious t...

Any new NP grads who are recently employed care to share? I want to know what an exact amount after your taxes, 401k etc are taken out. How much money goes directly to your bank account each paycheck?

Great post, people (not necessarily trauma) tend to take personal offense when this issue is discussed. You choose the level and quality of education you want, you don't always get what you are paying for. Just as in anything else, some things (schoo...

In school, but it doesn't take a genius.

Obviously an employer would select the best trained candidate for a position. A 98% acceptance rate means if you can pay, you can play, no matter your critical thinking abilities may be. We all know, very few go to Walden as a first choice. That is a...

98% acceptance = diploma mill

I don't think they would even know you were online, unless your résumé shows you working in Maine, while enrolled in school in Washington. What i will say, and it has been argued here ad nauseum, is that online for profit diploma mills (i.e. walden, ...

Using the search bar for something such as this isn't as effective with a volatile field and economy, this data frequently changes. And I agree, it puts the info out there so that others can know what to expect and negotiate in their Job.

And what scholarship was that?

That was with phd students added in too. It's a large cohort. I applied to Utah and Duke, chose Duke.

Fact: Graduates of an Established traditional university associated with a medical center will be hired over a Walden any day. Ivy League or not. They are diploma mills. As for knowing anyone, I worked for a group while in nursing school (worked as ...

Look at it from a patient and peer point of view (dont think for a second your place of education will not define you for your career). Who would you go to? Someone from a traditional university, or a for profit lets-see-how-many-we-can-churn-out sc...

Why not just go FNP. It covers the age group you want, plus some. I'd imagine that would give you more flexibility in the job market.
