- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Nurse practitioners are on the rise, if you haven't seen! This video is all about nurse practitioner salary, specifically, how one can make $30,000 or more in a single month. This doesn't happen every month for me, however, with the right gigs, $30,000 per month is possible. How much does a nurse practitioner make? This video will go in depth and describe that just for you. Here, I talk about working conditions in remote Alaska (where I make the big bucks), and differing side gigs available.

wow I have never heard of travel nurse practitioners!!! The doors that open with higher education are amazing!
Yes indeed! Thanks for watching!
Travel nurses in general can travel, even if they are a NP or a CRNA
In nursing in general you have amazing opportunities
That’s good money, Nurse Practitioners in Seattle make $ 150-220 K a year especially in PSYCH
Wow
Yassss so good to hear, I’m gonna be a psych np
Without traveling?
Christ Will Return Yes, some places over that, depending on your experience
How do they do it?
Thank you so much for this video. I am in the process of a major career change, which is very scary, and this is what I want my end result to be. I start nursing school in January 2020. I am in my mid 40's and have contemplated nursing for many years. I know a few NPs and they love what they do. I am very interested in traveling. Listening to your videos help keep me focused with my eyes on my target. I have a bachelor's which I am told could assist in an expedited graduate degree in nursing. Thanks for sharing these videos and please keep them coming. They are a big help.
Hi! Thank you for watching! Your story is amazing, and you can do it. Keep your eyes on the goal.
I’m in the same boat!
Yassss do it!!
Des U so have you become a nurse
Des have you become a nurse, its been 2 years since your post
my husband is a dentist and we own our own business. I like that you treat being a nurse practitioner like owning your own business. Love the youtube channel. I'm a new FNP-ARNP with some dreams of travel NP one day.
Yes! Especially traveling, you really have to treat yourself like a business, as you are self employed. Thanks again for checking me out!
New grad psych NP's are making BASE salary of 160k in phoenix
Love it!!
I’m interested in psych np. Currently in fnp program and looking for a post grad certificate
I’m currently in a psych NP program, I graduate God willing next year. Thanks for the info but I live in Florida and the pay here is terrible.
Peace be to you David! I'm a new subscriber! I am really impressed by the NP profession. You guys really directed the course of your own profession! You are reaping the benefits of it. I've worked in resource-scarce areas! Many of the people are happy to get SOME type of health profession. I'm in the inner-city. There MANY of the same issues. Keep up the great work you are doing!
Dr o. This information is amazing
Thank you so much for watching!
Love the transparency🔥 Motivating me through my studying right now😊
Keep it going! Totally worth it in the end 😁
Same here 😃 I would love to be a travel NP but I have kids. Any tips?
@@mommy8406 you can travel locally! Like an hour/2 hours away from home
This is soo motivating!!
Thanks for watching! 😁
Right!!! Girl let’s go to NP school 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for this! I’m just starting my ER RN career from being a psych nurse for 5 years and ultimately wanna be an emergency NP in 3 years. This is motivating me!
How is psych nursing that is what I am interested in.
Thank you for watching!
@@Miaonroblox Psych Nursing is amazing! If you love psych. There is a danger involved in that you can be attacked. Most code violets are on the psych floor. I would say give it a try. If you love it - great. If not - do something else. Because if you don’t like psych you will burn out easily.
Do Psych Nurse Practitioners get attacked too?
Travel emergency nurse practitioner!?!?
Subscribed.. can’t wait to watch your videos man.. I’m currently an ER nurse in fnp school
I know you have your fnp and ancp.. do you have the enp-c?
Thanks for stopping by and watching!
I do have the ENP cert!
I did RN work in remote Alaska and this is a helpful video, however this is not entirely the picture. There is a limited availability of fresh foods and to fly or go by ferry to the nearest town is VERY expensive. Food is VERY expensive and the quality of your vegetables is, wilted. There is also nor a whole lot to do unless you really like hiking and exploring the nature, however there are BEARS. If you work in the ER in a remote area you had better know what the hell you are doing as you are the only one there until the flights come in.
Yup you’re right. I feel like this video is true to what I have personally experienced in remote Alaska. I appreciate your insight though. There are bears everywhere I’ve been. And yes- any clinician anywhere needs to know what they are doing to competently treat a patient. Even more so in Alaska when you’re solo. Not a place for new grads.
Yeah but you also have to take in mind that this is the greater picture. It happened to YOU out of the hundreds and thousands of travel nurses
I love that you have side gigs!! I’m a travel RN and thinking about doing psych NP travel one day and doing real estate (working on that now) andddd having another side business! Thank you for the awesome video from Alaska! Totally wanting to take an assignment there soon!
Hi! Yes. I definitely want to get in to real estate investing too. That’s a huge area.
It’s so worth it. Take an assignment in the summer and you won’t regret it 😁
Thanks for watching.
@@DavidWarrenNP as a matter of fact, I think I will! Thank you for that :)
GET IT GURL💯I really wanna take up surgical tech and gain about a year of experience or 2 and be a travel tech and also do real estate on the side good luck 👊👍💯💯
I’ll make$32,000 take home in two months as a travel nurse.
That is so awesome!!! Traveling is where it’s at right now!!
What is your specialty?
I make that a year currently. Can’t wait to get into that tax bracket. F being poor lol
Is this due to the covid crisis pay?
But you’re working hard
Congratulations on living your dream! 👏 👏 👏
Ah thanks!
I'm currently NP student and I have so much respect for your knowledge. Please share your career path with us, how many years before you become a travel NP
Hi! Thank you for watching! I worked as a nurse for 2 years before going back to NP school. I worked as a NP for about 2 years before starting my career as a travel NP.
I am in school for PMHNP. Thanks for the video. I did not know NPs can be travel NPs. Good to know. Great video. I love your enthusiasm.
Yes! Definitely can travel. Lots of opportunities out there.
@@DavidWarrenNP is this still the case
Love your channel! im so glad i stumbled into it! Travel NP looks sooo interesting!
Ah thank you for checking me out! Much appreciated! 😁 traveling as a Np is literally the best decision I’ve ever made!
PA-C here. I appreciate your work ethic and free spirit of travel. I am currently between jobs and have been offered a great travel job, but it's a 3 month contract over the holidays. I am chickening out, but I probably should just jump. My family pulls at my heart-strings. I recently met someone else who was making $300-$400k/yr (about $30k/mo) as a PA in ER and UC... but he was definitely burning the candle at both ends and struggling to keep the level of income, little sleep.
Hi!! Thank you for watching! I totally understand the family thing! I’m single with no kiddos. I wanted to get my traveling out-of-the-way before I settle down and start a family! Traveling is good money. But I must say, I do miss being home and sleeping in my own bed sometimes!
David, love your videos! Would love an update on what you've been up to this summer work wise, your videos are always motivating! Thanks!
Hey thanks so much! I am working on a video to update everyone! 😁
Love your transparency! :) thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
It’s true. My wife made 28,000 in a month as a registered nurse! I’ve tried to get her in traveling as a np but she won’t..... she has almost 4 years now as a np... she only makes 96k a year! We could be pulling 150 to 200k just with her income traveling.
Loved your intro. Beautiful views. Love it love it love it.
Thank you so much!!
Just found your channel❤New subscriber here🙂 Thank u for all your videos and sharing about your experiences in nursing and thank u for all the advice/tips about life of a nurses❤ Pls. keep posting more informative videos❤
I have a friend PA in Alaska who makes 250-400k year cause no MDs over there working. Very few.
I can’t travel, I have a family. ‘Clicks off video 😔.’
You can still travel with your family . Anything is possible!.
Take them with you. Homeschool. Hire help as needed. You're welcome😊
You can TOTALLY travel with family. It can happen. TONS of my colleagues in AK have families and travel. It's all about how you do it.
@@DavidWarrenNP can you maybe do a video about being a travel NP with family?
@@cakesinthecity how to do it with family!
wow inspirational lol. I want to be a travel nurse and then when I have years and years of experience I hope to open my own practice (long term goals). I have a B.A in Anthropology so the idea of working in these types of rural areas is so exciting
That is awesome! Funny story-- one of the NPs I ran across in a small Alaska town was actually getting his PhD in anthropology. He went to work in Alaska so he could do his research/dissertation regarding something about the native community he was working in. I thought that was pretty cool!
So neat!! Your videos are amazing!:) Thanks!!:)
Thank you for watching!
I love your videos !! My post notifications are turned on . I hope your channel continues to grow 📈😊🙏🏾
Thank you for watching!
This video is so informative. I need more of these
Thank you for watching!
Can you do a video on your journey to become a travel Np?
Yes! I would love to!
How many hours/week did you work to make 30k/month?
About 25. However, I was on call 24/7.
intro was amazing!
Ugh thanks for noticing 😁 I tried real hard haha
Thhhhhhanks sooo much 4 posting!
Thanks for watching!
This was an amazing video! Thanks for sharing the company name!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video, super informative! Does your agency handle the licensing process for you for each state, and what states would you say are high yield to get your license in? Also do you work for multiple agencies, if so how many and do you recommend any to work for or vise versa?
Wow. I can't just wait to grab this opportunity.
I am just finishing school as a Family Nurse Practitioner in Vancouver, BC. I travel nursed as an ICU nurse, and I loved it. What courses do you recommend to get up training for preparation to travel nurse as an NP in rural areas? Thank you!
Hey Sara! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! I would recommend having good experience as a NP in a large teaching hospital/somewhere you can see a wide range of pathology and learn. I would also recommend having the AHA certs (BLS, PALS, ACLS). I would recommend getting ATLS (advanced trauma life support)- trauma course. And I would recommend getting ALSO or BLSO for labor and delivery emergencies (if you aren't comfortable delivering a baby). Hope this helps!
your filming is very good. Thank you for pushing out consistent content since you started your page. What type of camera do you use while filming ?
Thank you so much! I use the canon 1DX Mark ii and DJI mavic 2 pro (drone). Thanks for checking me out!
That is interesting. Good video
Thanks for watching!
Im a Physical Rehab Nurse and Im leaning towards PHMNP but looking at FNP too! I have some medsurge experience from a LTC and Rehab, but it's limited! I have never done IV drips, dont have my ACLS, and never been in the ICU or ER as a RN! What is your thoughts on me being an regular NP?
I have similar nursing experience, although I have worked acute care for about 2 years in total. I am currently in an FNP program now. Your current experiences provides more of a knowledge base than you think. What you have is a great stepping stone for FNP, especially LTC!
Your lifestyle looks fantastic! I am JUST beginning my educational journey to become a NP. (Psych NP) Are there as many opportunities for travel with this type of pay in the psychiatric NP world?
Congrats! Keep it up! And yes, there are travel NP positions open!
Really motivational video. Thank you. Are you a FNP? Are there similar travel options for AGNPs?
Thank you! I am a FNP and ACNP! There are travel options for primary care NPs!
I just got accepted to Family Nurse Practitioner school. Should I switch to Psychiatric Nurse practitioner?
Awesome video, what’s the name of the song I love it
I will have to check! I honestly can’t remember hah! It’s all free music- just google TH-cam audio library- that’s where I get all the music for these videos!
To get into Emegency Medicine, would you be able to be a FNP? or would you need to do AGACNP? I like the idea of FNP for the pediatric portion, but emergency room is my end goal. I'm currently a Critical care paramedic, and a flight paramedic, doing the bridge to RN with the goal of NP at some point. Thank you!
Great question! FNP is probably most common, but you will need to pick up the critical care training. The best option (not as common), is to attend an emergency NP program. (UT houston, Emory etc).
Still my inspiration video 2020.
Thank you for watching!
you can in the bay area :D
Hahaha right. And pay another 30% in living expenses and state income tax 🤣😂
BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you for watching ! 😁
I did 12 years of College to become a Ph.D. Scientist often working 80 hours. Wish I became a nurse!
I'm missing the videos! Upload again! :)
I'm baccccck ;)
David, how do i get into the ER or Urgent care as a new FNP with no experience? Should i get my ENP post master's?
It’s a tough market to get in without experience. Be willing to move wherever an opportunity arises. Be willing to move to small town America.
Thank you so much 😊 where do we find these FNP travel contracts?
Hi! I worked with Wilderness Medical Staffing. They have a website, just check out google.
I click so quick nice video, this is so interesting.
Glad you enjoyed
Hello! I love your channel. I have a question:
Did you take both of the certification tests for fnp and acnp?
Thank you!!
Yes. I am certified as FNP and ACNP.
@@DavidWarrenNP wow i did not know you can be ceritifed in both!!!! thats awesome! it roughly takes 2 years to get fnp.. did it take you 2 years more to get your acnp??
Thank you for post this video, could you please recommend some books you use for ER NP?
Hi! Yes- thank you for watching. Tintinalli's is the standard textbook for emergency medicine. Something good to start out with for sure.
Can you post a link to your video talking about wilderness medicine? Really enjoy your outlook as a traveling ER NP.
Yes! Thank you for watching!
Im on the fence with Barton associates and MPLT. Have you heard of these? Those are the only two agencies I am talking to. Hesitating.
Stay away from Barton. They really lowball and underpay. I have never worked with him, but I have heard bad things. Just do your due diligence. I’ve worked with comphealth and they are fine. For Barton- if you can get them not to lowball you, you would probably be fine. Just don’t accept an unreasonable offer.
@@DavidWarrenNP thank you for the info. Im not pleased with the options and the agent I have. And yes they wanted me to take a job for $70ish/hr which I declined.
What is your opinion on a good hourly wage for an FNP?
How do you deal with health insurance as a travel NP?
I go through the market for private health insurance. I use blue cross.
Are you acute care certified or family practice? This sounds like something I might be interested in down the road. My RN experience is neuroscience. Would you recommend ER experience as a new grad NP or PCP clinic or specialty experience in order to pursue travel NP?
I have acute care and family. I recommend Er experience if you want to do this sort of traveling.
how do you go about working as a NP in emergency medicine? im currently applying for NP and emergency sounds fun for me.
Also, can u take my senior pics? I still havent done them and i live in dallas.
Hey, thanks for the info! I am currently a RN and in ARNP school. I have a small Nurse delegation business. I guess some state have more restrictions for APRNs? Some physicians get paid to provide delegation for them to practice! Super strange!! What state are you from?
Yes. Restrictions vary by state. I am from Texas. It is a pretty heavily supervised and restricted state. This video was from Alaska, and they are independent practice.
@@DavidWarrenNP It’s not right how much restriction they place on NPs. What are your thoughts. Is Texas a restricted or limited practice state? I’m from Washington State, thankfully it’s a full practice state. I just learned about the restrictions that are being placed on NPs. Have the restrictions effected your practice ability much?
@@NobleNursingEducation Yes, Texas is a restricted state as most Southern states are. It can affect practice IF you are attempting to go into private practice or possibly if you are a new grad needing a collaborator. I gained multiple licenses so that I can work in FPA states from my restricted states.
I'm about to graduate as an FNP this year. What tips do you have for me if I want to pursue ENP cert? Should I attempt to find on the job training at an ER or pursue a post masters certification for ENP. I have no experience in the ER setting now, but I am considering getting some RN experience in the ER as I finish up my FNP program....
Should I get some experience in a primary care clinic first and then apply for ER jobs? Will an ER supply me with an adequate orientation phase?
Hey David, what editing software and camera/lens do you use to edit videos?
Hey! In this video, I use the 1DX Canon and Premiere Pro.
Oh and DJI Mavic 2 pro drone
David, or anyone else, what is the NP situation in Oregon/Washington? I'm moving next year but compared to my current state, I seem to see a very small number of NP positions available. When searching provider directories and such I find the same, very few NPs. Granted, I'm looking at larger inpatient facilities, but still, not seeing the numbers I would expect. Is the NP scene in PNW relegated towards rural facilities, or is there some saturation of positions going on?
Interesting question. I’ve tried to find some positions in Oregon and Washington, and haven’t had much luck. I have a good friend who is a nurse practitioner in the ER in Washington, and he is one of the first nurse practitioners the ER group has hired. It seems to be a less evolved role in the PNW unfortunately.
Thanks for the feedback, seems to be as I feared. What states do you work primarily? I don't watch your channel religiously, but I thought I recalled you flying out of Seattle to work rotations in AK. I assumed you were based out of the PNW.
Tim Krueger I am based out of Texas. I mainly work in California, Texas, and Alaska. The only way to Alaska via Texas is through Seattle! I would love to find some work in that area, but I haven’t had much luck over about a 3 yr time span!
This is awesome info! I'm wondering if Psych/mental health NPs travel?
Yes they do
Yes they do for sure! Good opportunities too.
Wow I like the opening scenery. Was that a drone or helicopter?
Drone! Mavic 2 pro!
@@DavidWarrenNP nice
I would love to do this! May I ask where you went to school for your NP degree?
I went to the university of Alabama!
How much experience as a primary care NP would you suggest before traveling. I know agencies want 1-2 years but what's the reality of being prepared with just 2 years experience? (No interest in wilderness medicine, lol)
Good question- I can speak from experience. I had two years of experience when I started. Looking back, I was pretty clueless. Still had a lot of learning to do. However, I think it’s possible to do. I think no less than two years for sure. It really depends on the comfort of the person, and their skill set and resources etc. 2 years would be the very minimum honestly.
@@DavidWarrenNP thanks!
Hi David, please do we have mental health nurses who also practice as Travel Nurses?
Yes, there are mental health RN travel positions.
Hey man. Question. Travel in California do you have any experience?
In a another video he said salary was lower that’s why he’s quitting. So which one is it
thank you
Thanks for watching 😬
Does anyone know if an ACNP can work in an urgent care or open their own practice? Or they need to have a FNP
Hey David. Quick question did you get your FNP?
Yes!
crazy money some people do that in a year a lot more hours of work
What city and state do you work in at your full time ER job?
Bro, u needa post again.
IM BACCCCK
that intro wow
Can you specialize in more than one unit for NP? Like psych & FNP?
Yes! You can hold as many specialty certifications as you want.
@@DavidWarrenNP how long does it take to specialize in a certain area? do you have to go to school again?
Do they accept Adult-Gerontology primary care nurse practitioners?
I don’t believe so. You have to be able to evaluate pedi patients.
Hello David, great channel and great info! Thank you! My question is, do you know anything about making a lot of money(150k+) abroad as an NP ? For example, working in the middle east or Africa for oil companies or military companies.
Hi! I really don’t know much about that- I would think it’s not possible, because the NP profession is not as developed/advanced in other non US countries as it is in the US. Possible though? I don’t really know to be honest.
What's the average time of experience do they require for travel?
Usually 2 years in emergency medicine.
What resources do you use to find travel NP jobs?
Google! Google is your best friend. I always stay on the lookout for good jobs.
Which Agency. I am a nurse practitioner and I will like to be linked to that agency
It's Wilderness Medical Staffing
Tell them I sent you along
Hi did you do this video yourself or someone helped you?
I did it all by myself!
Is it possible for acute care np to become ENP certified?
Cameron Tidwell I think you also have to have FNP to evaluate Peds
As far as I am aware- the ENP cert is only for FNPs at this particular time.
where would you go to find those travel NP listings??
Google is the best place!
What travel agency do you use
I use multiple agencies- I do not just stick with one.
What is the intro song I love it
I got it off the TH-cam audio platform for free!
What company do you recommend
I’ve worked with comphealth and wilderness medical staffing- both are great. It’s more about your recruiter than a company. Get a good recruiter who helps you.
What agency do you use for NP travel?
I work with Wilderness Medical Staffing
Do you work like 40+ hours as an NP to make this much tho?
When working in Alaska- I’m virtually on call 24/7 at times. Although I average 5-7 patients in that period. So it’s not awful.
@@DavidWarrenNP I see. Is it hard to find employment for these positions as an NP these days? Ik your video is 2 years old so things might have changed
@@RedFaceeee Good question- you can find ample employment in most rural areas. It is harder to find employment in metro areas. There are exceptions, but this has generally been the theme over the last few years.
@@DavidWarrenNP I see. Just wanted to say that I really do appreciate all the videos and information you’ve shared. I’m sure you hear it a lot, but thank you for what you do on TH-cam!
Also, I forgot to ask. Would you have any travel nurse agencies for travel nurse practitioner?
Thank God I finally passed my NP test on my 3rd attempt with the help of Mr DAVID, I used his preparation tips. just 3 days of working with him and I passed. I was referred to him by a friend before my exams. Please friends I recommend you to mr DAVID. The man has the key to getting your exam.
I will recommend working with him , he has key questions and answers for the test, get his infos from my channel
Do you see psych nps out there?
I don’t! Psych NPs would be of great benefit though. Lots of mental health issues there.
@@DavidWarrenNP
It's funny I'd never heard of this type of program until I watched your videos, and then I saw an opening for np in rural Alaska, maybe its my calling.... lol
@@DavidWarrenNP
Got another year and then maybe I'll try it out, thanks for the info.
New subby 😁
Yay! Thank you!
Do you have to be ENP certified?
For the assignments I have been on- no. It helps to have a strong emergency medicine background though.
which hiring agency?
Wilderness medical staffing
LOL... Circle Montana... BY year 5 every NP should be making 200k, and never take a job as a new grad NP for less than 55 dollars a hour. Can you deliver a baby with a MA you dont get along with? Car wreck? Can you run a code? PALs? Come the phuck on dude, Most NPs cant do this. Wilderness medicine in it's truest form...That is interesting
Yup. Wilderness medicine in its truest form. It's not for the faint of heart.
OMG
