How about a Nurse Practitioner? Im interested in becoming a pediatric

@Cheyenne1889 When I was an LPN I had jobs that paid way less and some that paid more. It depended on what company I worked for. They considered an LPN to be just an LPN most of the time & cared less about what or how much experience I had. Either they were going to use me or they just were not. Most of the time they used me as cheap labor, giving me extremely heavy, unsafe patient loads with very little support to save a buck for the big wigs at the patients expense, leaving me as the fall guy

I thought the pay was typically around 40k?
