It depends on where you practice. Primary care in an office $45/hour and then increases from there depending on career path. I have seen as high as $90/hour for a hospitalist position though this is with a couple years experience. Straight after graduation $45-$55 an hour.

Agree with Steve, depends what state, experience, and field, new grad 50/hr with benefits (should be avrg for every NP anywhere in the US - especially if you are seeing 20-30 pts a day - if on call on weekends avr $1000 a wknd!) and 55-60/hr with NP experience 2-4 years (of-course if on-call, weekends are all extra).
please reply with comments.

Also, just a thought. Consider the difference between being a W-2 employee and a 1099 self employed. The latter will make your base pay rate better by about $10-15/hour depending on experience. I started out in fast track of an ER at $55/hour right after graduating. Background is in EMS for about 8 years and then ICU for 5 years. And this was a W-2 employment. As a 1099 my base was $65/Hr with around $110 per diem for travel. Effectively making the hourly rate $75/hour. I would suggest starting out in an ER setting so you can see the type of patients coming in and getting admitted as well as interventions the Doctors prescribe. This will help if you do decide to go into primary care. Anyway LuAnn I wish you all the best.
