Hover over the different areas, don't just look at the map. In areas of highest concentration of jobs (assume this means jobs currently held by warm bodies), the salaries are also the lowest. This is also affected by COL (see CA). For example, salaries are quite low in Nashville, TN (as I mentioned above) where there is a very high concentration of NPs. Same applies to many areas in TN unfortunately. As you can imagine, job hunters find it difficult. Why are there low salaries? Many NP schools flooding the market with new NPs. Another issue (IMO) - low(ish) wages for nurses. Research that and you will find TN isn't anywhere near many other markets (even Nashville, which is NOT a low COL area) so when seeking upward mobility, the first thing many think of is "NP". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
