Abstract
Compensation commensurate with responsibilities is an element of overall job satisfaction and influences satisfaction with and commitment to work. State and local salary data can be useful when negotiating compensation. This Washington State survey of advanced practice nurses (APNs) found salary differences according to factors such as geographic locations, gender, years of practice, education, and practice setting. Men earned almost $6000 a year more than women, and advanced practice nurses in the hospitalist role earned the highest average salary. Nearly a quarter of APNs were dissatisfied with their salary and 5% were very dissatisfied.
