What is the Salary of a Nurse Practitioner?
There is no single right answer to the question, "What is the salary of a nurse practitioner?" Take a look at the Nurse Practitioner Job Description above. The duties listed there might seem pretty straightforward, but the responsibilities and area of expertise of a nurse practitioner may be wide-ranging, thanks to the breadth and depth of the medical field. The same goes for nurse practitioner salaries. By examining PayScale's data on the salary of a nurse practitioner, we can find answers to many nurse practitioner salary questions.
Researching Nurse Practitioner Salaries
Comparing the Average Nurse Practitioner Salary by Skill/Specialty reveals that the salary of a nurse practitioner specializing in Acute Care, Case Management, or Intensive Care Unit work will be higher than the salary of a nurse practitioner working in other areas. A nurse practitioner who can stay calm in a high-pressure, stressful environment may get a salary boost from developing skills in these areas. A calm demeanor may be especially helpful since, according to the Nurse Practitioner Salaries by Hospital Setting report, nurse practitioner salaries tend to be higher in a general hospital or surgery setting compared to the salary of a nurse practitioner employed in a school or private practice. As with most careers, location also plays a part in the salary of a nurse practitioner. Measuring Nurse Practitioner Salary by City, we can see that Philadelphia currently has one of the highest average nurse practitioner salaries - what else would you expect from the City of Brotherly Love?
