Hello! The group of Nurse Practitioners I work with have been requested to do some research on different aspects of the roll of Nurse Practitioners who work in a hospital setting and the approximate starting salaries in different areas of the country. I would really appreciate any input anyone can provide. Thanks! 1. What city and state do you practice in? 2. What is your specialty? 3. Approximately how many patients are you responsible for on a normal day? 4. What type of shifts are worked by the NP's you practice with? 5. If you work in a specific unit, how many NP's are are covering the unit at a time? 6. Do you provide 24 hour a day NP coverage? 7. If you work in a specific unit, do you have 24 hour a day in house physician coverage? 8. What is the roll of the NP in the institution you work at? 9. If you work in a specialty area, such as Neonatal or Pediatric, do you have any transport responsibilities? 10. What is the approximate starting salary for a NP in your institution?
