I’m a newer NNP and currently make 104k per year in the Midwest. As an RN I made about 70-75k. I’m actually interested in traveling with the goal of paying off a large amount of student loans.
NICU RN here, that salary is not really accurate. I work in a union hospital in Minneapolis and starting salary is currently $36/hr (base pay) for BSN and goes up incrementally $1-2 per year of experience. Night differential is $4. Salary cap for floor nurses is ~$55/hr. The union and non-union hospitals here pay hospital nurses the same regardless of the unit (no difference if you work in ICU or med surg). Also, NICU nursing is a specialty but it definitely falls under the umbrella of ICU. We deal with a lot of vents, PICC lines, and drips. Although the population is very unique, the nursing interventions are still very ICU-like with the consideration that your patient is tiny.
My aunt is a PICU, NICU, PACU, and pedi floor manager she said they deal with all sorts and they start in Alaska baby nurses are starting at 39 and she said they don’t care if you have a BSN or RN
I just finished my OB clinicals and got to talk to a neonatal nurse practitioner for awhile. She was great and has been a NNNP for a decade. I asked her about the flooded NP job market and she said that she got into the NP role at a good time, and a new neonatal NP she knows had to wait a year for a job opening. Thanks for the video! 😊
I am actually a NICU nurse, with 3 months left of Neonatal Nurse Practitioner school! I definitely have some friends that make $100,000+ working at a hospital (not traveling). These people generally have been working at the facility for 5-10+ years or work overtime.. but it's definitely possible! Neonatal NP's in Houston can expect to make $110-150k.
Great video! I would also keep in mind for those who are looking at the nursing field that pay vastly varies by state, here in California my base pay is 94K a year as an ER nurse with only two years experience and I work in a rural part of northern California where nurses do not make as much as those working inner cities. Standard base for a comparable job in an inner city hospital starts roughly around 110K. As an FNP student I'm a little concerned considering that the wages FNPs are not as high when compared to a working specialty floor nurse. I've seen from research that standard pay for university hospitals (which tend to pay the most) show FNP salaries between 72-95 an hour, have you seen anything comparable in your job as a travel FNP?
As an instructor in an ADN program, the income is WAY less than was mentioned here, unfortunately. I took a pay cut of almost 50% moving from bedside to teaching.
PMHNPs do not make anything close to CRNAs. Also, there are a gazillion online PMHNP diploma mills out there and I have no doubt that 5-10 years down the line PMHNP will be in the same situation as FNPs. Also, this list lumps all NPs and PMHNPs are NPs. It's also important to keep in mind that CRNA's $180k are "salaried" positions with full benefits. Most of the high numbers reported by PMHNPs are revenues before expenses and benefits. When you take everything into account, most psych NPs do not make drastically more than your average experienced NPs.
@@kdfooaijfea3asdf ur kidding right? Check your numbers m8. Ya no shit they don't make close to CRNAs but you can easily start with 140k+ as psych. NP. whereas other specialties are around 100k to 120k starting. And where are you getting your data? Psych NPs are literally in so much demand right now and the demand keeps going up. Psych is one of those fields where NPs can do exactly what MDs can do in full practice states hence I don't think they're going anywhere. Whereas the other NP fields, they are severely limited compared to their MD counterpart. Looks like somebody's salty they didn't choose psych 😂. And take it easy it's not a personal attack against you, I'm just surprised he didn't mention psych in the NP category instead he mentioned acute care.
@dee PMHNPs are in extremely high demand and that will not change in 5-10 years. The salary’s are in between all other NPs and CRNAs. I am called constantly by headhunters trying to recruit me. My linked-in account is messaged daily. There are job openings in every clinic in my area.
Let me gues…number 1 is nurse anesthetists…crna…..i heard they can make as high as 250,000…im a cvor rn and last year i made 180,000 but that’s because i’m a workaholic :) i work a lot of hours…i mean crazy lots of hours…but i love it :)
Nice video. I work in the NICU and make over $200,000 in CA. Some coworkers that do a lot of overtime are making over $300,000. I’m looking to become a CRNA. Would that be a big career change? I want to get into the beauty industry .
