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?
Specializes in Oncology, ICU, Nephrology, Hematology.
What type NP are you? FNP
Where (state)(rural/urban) do you practice? rural, KY
Are you independent or in a group? group
How many years experience? less than one
What is your before tax paycheck amount? 7800
Monthly or bi-weekly? monthly
Salary/hourly/other(explain)? salary
Avg hours on check? 40 per week
What are the perks of your contract? (ie. PTO/vacation/bonuses) free health insurance, no vaca, no bonus on the hospitalist contract. a few thousand for cme, all the benefits of providers at the hospital and such. Will start working clinic which will be RVU based, should put me up to 120k for 8 extra hours per weekish.
-I'm near Louisville, KY and I'm looking for a rural hospital or clinic to shadow (FNP student @ UC, Grad. December 2015). Any advice?
-How do you find rural clinics like this that are willing to pay (so much) for your services???
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!
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 :)

How many patients are you seeing in a day now and expected number of patients that you will see later? thank you.
Your post was very informative but I wonder if it's still the case in El Paso today. I got admission to do my 15 month BSN starting in Jan 2015 and hoping to start a 15 Month FNP program at University of PA shortly after. I live in Michigan now and hoping to move to El Paso when I'm done with these programs. I will PM you something if you wouldn't mind.
Most of them say how many hours a week or either biweekly. I don't remember any having 3 or 4 jobs. Is someone jealous or what?
Go read again..full time jobs + side gigs. See how petty you are? Calling someone jealous for voicing an opinion. Oh well, at least you did not say 'hater'....
