How much do nurse practitioners make per hour?

Answer 1

Due to the fact that nurses are members of that special class of first responders that includes police and fire workers, there are provision in law that allow an RN to work almost indenfinately when responding to a disaster. This rarely occurs, and requires a legal declaration of trauma or disaster. For normal work, RN's typically work five days, 8 hours per, or four days 10 hours per, but special arrangements not uncommonly arise. I have a friend who workds three 12-hour days and takes the next four off. From a staffing context, it's considered unwise to have nursing staff work more than perhaps 10 hours per day.

Answer 2

Nurse practitioner schedules may be part-time or full-time, with some working a few hours a day and others working 12-hour shifts. A board certified nurse practitioner must work a minimum number of hours per certification period in order to be eligible for recertification without additional training and documentation.

Answer 3

There are three options to become a registered nurse as follows.

• diploma program (typically three years, not recommended for individuals who do not have an already existing degree)
• associate degree (two years as a full-time student once the student starts the professional phase of the program)
• bachelor's degree (BSN) (four years as a full-time student)
