Full-time nurse practitioners are earning more money each year than they used to, according to a survey from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners — moving from an average base salary of $91,310 in 2011 to $97,083 in 2015.
Additionally, the 2015 National Nurse Practitioner Compensation Survey found a 10 percent increase in annual income, rising from $98,760 in 2011 to $108,643 this year.
The AANP has conducted its compensation survey periodically since 2007. "The 2015 National Nurse Practitioner Compensation Survey is an invaluable resource for nurse practitioners and employers alike to establish fair employment arrangements, based on a variety of factors," said AANP President Cindy Cooke, DNP.
