by The salary depends on the facility in which the NP is working, the degrees, the state, organizations, and the city.
Some organizations have unionized salaries, which means that the salary is subject to negotiation occasionally.
Commonly, the salary is calculated using factors such as professional experience and practice.
In general, NPs working in hospital systems and large organizations earn more than NPs working in private offices.
Also, the demand for the specialty affects the salary.
