Abstract
Appropriate financial compensation is essential for nurse practitioners. Several national salary surveys have been presented in the last few years. Until recently there has been little nurse practitioner salary data that is state, regional or city specific. This article reports on Washington State nurse practitioner (NP) salaries. Washington NPs are legally autonomous professionals who assume demanding roles and provide high quality care to hundreds of thousands of people. Salary data was analyzed using factors such as level of education, place of employment, type of practice and by regional and local areas. This study supports the value of having local state and city salary data in order to negotiate for fair salary practices.
