[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, because many places use them interchangeably with physicians and pay them a lot less. This is a knock on our horrendous healthcare system, not NPs. [/quote] This is true. And the office bills more as if you’re seeing the MD, because in most states the MD must theoretically sign off on the plan of care determined by the NP. I decided not to go the NP route when I saw how overworked they are in most clinical settings. Whether that’s a CVS or a MedSTAR Hospital. I make only $15,000 less a year as a seasoned RN because their pay band is getting compressed as the NP cohort grows exponentially. Not worth the increased stress and liability. [/quote] this. And graduate school to become an NP now costs $150k+. It's a terrible investment if you're talking income. [/quote]
