What is your take home pay as Nurse Practitioner?

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 or in a group?

How many years experience?

What is your before tax paycheck amount?

Monthly or bi-weekly?

Salary/hourly/other(explain)?

Avg hours on check?

What are the perks of your contract? (ie. PTO/vacation/bonuses)

I know this is very personal, but if you are able to provide input, I would appreciate it! I'm mainly interested also to see after the gov/operational costs etc have taken their share, how much are you left with?

-How do you find rural clinics like this that are willing to pay (so much) for your services???

Thanks!!!

I'm definitely gonna have to get out of Cali once I'm a FMHNP from the looks of it. I already make more as an ASN degree'd RN here in the East Bay area. I do have plans though!

[Solitaire.G]

I posted earlier. You should be making about 200k a year if you don't accept some 40 hour a week job and salary.

Good news for me. I'm planning PMHNP after I get this BSN out of the way. I've got 20 years in now as a psych RN. Presently in California but have plans to relocate. I'll be hoping to start networking once I'm close to graduating :)
