Full pay detail, rank, and how each compares to the national median.
These are BLS occupational wage figures for Nurse Practitioners (SOC 29-1171): averages across all NP settings, specialties, and experience levels, not a starting salary. Pay tracks local cost of living, and NP pay is nationally compressed, so state-to-state gaps are smaller than for many roles. Specialty (e.g. psychiatric or acute-care NP), setting, and experience move individual pay well above or below these medians.
