Average pay for a full time psychiatric nurse practitioner is 117k, decent money but nowhere near 200k.

Obviously if they have there own practice they can make more, but that is out of reach of most nurses and has more to do with being a small business owner.

What kind of job does s/he have? That sounds very unusual.

I suspect that they left out some major details or simply inflated the numbers. I know many nurses and not one would come close to 200k @ 2 days /week.

Looks like a duck, sounds like a duck ... probably a duck.

"The BLS [U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics] reports the median salary for a registered nurse was $68,450 in 2016. The best-paid 10 percent of RNs made more than $102,990, while the bottom-paid 10 percent earned less than $47,120." And that's for full-time jobs, not less than half time work.

I guess all the best paid nurses are in this area.

I know quite a few nurses. None of them with more than 5 years of experiences make under 100K

Yep, once you add in shift differential, weekend differential and overtime, hospital nurses make significantly more than that.

I’ve never heard of anyone looking down on nurses. Where do you live? I work among public health nurses and I am very impressed with their knowledge of both clinical and population health. Also, some of the best medical research comes from nursing research.

I've never heard of anyone looking down on nurse either. It's a very honorable profession and I think most people admire nurses. And guys LOVE nurses...

NPs or PAs cannot have their own practice. They have to work under/with docs.

I’ve had a few very sick family members over the years - the nurses have always made surgery, ICU, etc. far more bearable. Nurses help humans cope and I have a ton of respect for the profession.

Not true in this area. Has not been true in many years in DC, and I believe Maryland as well. In Va the newest legislation is that NPs can practice with complete autonomy after 5 years (which will apply to the vast majority of NPs now practicing in Virginia).

This depends on the state. It's state by state. And in many states a nurse practitioner need only be loosely associated with a doctor and can absolutely have his or her own patient population. I should know and I am the psychiatric nurse practitioner who posted earlier

Most of them are. High stress job, typically more on the submissive side and like to take care of you. Hottie in scrubs for the win.

A guy nurse? I mean, I guess so. I'd probably make a lot of Focker jokes at first.

Totally!

Just keep in mind that nurse spends her whole day around make doctors. Be easy for her to trade up if she gets the hits for one of them.

Male doctors. Geez, autocorrect.

I’d date her just for the uniform.
