[quote=Anonymous]My mom is a nurse practitioner. Idk what she makes but she is well compensated. NPs can do a lot of the things physicians do (prescribe, practice as a primary care provider, etc.) especially if they specialize. My mom is a pediatric NP. It's also a good certification if you want regular hours like at a primary care doctor's office. I'm really jealous of my mom's ability to flex her hours. She was basically a SAHM but still made decent money part time and still had all her professional credentials/wasn't penalized for a resume gap when she went back full time. Same for my sister who is a physician assistant. There's a gulf of difference between a high school educated LPN or CNA who went into nursing because it's "what women do" vs. a nurse practitioner at Georgetown or Johns Hopkins with a master's degree. I don't think your DH is picking up on that. [/quote]
