How Much Do OB/GYN NPs Make?
According to Becker’s Hospital Review, the average annual OB/GYN NP salary is $123,594 per year in the U.S. The Bureau of U.S. Labor Statistics reports that the job outlook for nurse practitioners will increase by 38% over the next decade, making this a high in demand career path.
How Much Do Locum Tenens OB/GYN NPs Make?
Locum tenens OB/GYN NPs can make upwards of $95 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 $197,600
That means locum tenens OB/GYN NPs can make up to 59% more than the average provider. However, making direct salary comparisons can be complicated. While perm OB/GYN NPs are more likely to be salaried, locum tenens OB/GYN NPs are independent contractors earning an hourly rate, which can vary based on which assignments they take in a year.
Furthermore, because locum tenens OB/GYN NPs are paid by the hour, the hours they work are directly reflected in their pay, while a salaried OB/GYN NPs additional hours may not be reflected in their salary.
Finally, paid time off and insurance may be reflected in the perm OB/GYN NPs salary structure, but locum tenens providers do have options when it comes to health insurance.
