How Much Do Geriatric NPs Make?
The average annual geriatric NP salary is $69,212 per year in the U.S., according to a survey conducted by NurseJournal. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the population of 65-and-over U.S. citizens has increased over ⅓ in the past decade, increasing the demand for this specialty.
How Much Do Locum Tenens Geriatric NPs Make?
Locum tenens geriatric NPs can make upwards of $92 per hour on average, however, there are many factors that impact rates including location, years of experience, and the level of demand.
If you were to extrapolate that rate over a year (at 40 hours per week), the average locum salary comes out to around $191,360
That means locum tenens geriatric NPs can make up to 176% more than the average provider. However, making direct salary comparisons can be complicated. While perm geriatric NPs are more likely to be salaried, locum tenens geriatric NPs are independent contractors earning an hourly rate, which can vary based on which assignments they take in a year.
Furthermore, because locum tenens geriatric NPs are paid by the hour, the hours they work are directly reflected in their pay, while a salaried geriatric NPs additional hours may not be reflected in their salary.
Finally, paid time off and insurance may be reflected in the perm geriatric NPs salary structure, but locum tenens providers do have options when it comes to health insurance.
