Additionally, there is a conversation about the perception of certain cities and the impact of location on salary and job satisfaction.
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?
Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice? Fort Worth, Texas - suburban
Are you independent or in a group? GROUP
How many years experience? New Grad
What is your before tax paycheck amount? 4000k/ pay
Monthly or bi-weekly?Bi weekly
Salary/hourly/other(explain)? Salary - was offered 98K/yr but neg to 105k/yr
Avg hours on check? 80
What are the perks of your contract? (ie. PTO/vacation/bonuses) Multiple bonuses, full benefits, 401K with matching, tuition reimbursement ,1500 CME, DEA and malpractice paid - 7 on. 7 off scheduling
Are you independent or in a group? Hospitalist Group, inpatient job
How many years experience? A few years
What is your before tax paycheck amount? 6500 (not including per diem gig. Including per diem it's more like 7300 with both paychecks).
Monthly or bi-weekly? Bi weekly
Salary/hourly/other(explain)? Hourly at 85/hr + benefits (see below).
Avg hours on check? 76
What are the perks of your contract? (ie. PTO/vacation/bonuses) Full benefits = 4 weeks PTO, sick leave, disability/life insurance, malpractice insurance, great 401k w/match, $1250 annually CME/fees. Schedule is a mix of 12s and 8s such that I will work only 14 days per 4 week period. No call or overnight shifts. I also have a per diem job that I'll probably work ~2 days per month which will boost my take home to most likely 185k/year.
It would be SUPER helpful if some Missouri NP's would comment. I haven't seen a SINGLE one
I'm originally from St. Louis. Went to SLU. I worked in MO/IL for awhile but the archaic, draconian regulations on NP practice were intolerable. I left the state for that reason. I was being undervalued and underpaid and had little recourse as the physician collaborator has to sign charts, be within 30 miles, no CSII Rx, it was ridiculous.
Well crud! I also rounded per diem on an IP floor. They told me they were lowering my APRN rate by 1/3. I pushed back. Found out today that they don't need me anymore. Oh well - I'm still glad I pushed back!
I'm considering looking into a p/t telepsych position to cover what I had made. Not to hijack this thread, but anybody do that?

That wasn't even a staff with benefits position? Good riddance. That was awful. I'm not a fan of telepsych so while I've done it reluctantly on occasion in the ED I don't have solid info to offer. Maybe start a new thread?
Hmm.. i think my reply got eaten. My rate for that was $120, and they cut it to $85.
Now we are talking! $125 an hour is a nice prn rate and $85 is decent if that includes benefits.Hopefully your peers weren't willing to do it for that rate which around here is starting to kill us.
