In most cases, no - a veterinarian makes typically between $80,000 and $100,000 after getting some experience while most nurses are paid between $25,000 and $40,000 per year. However, it is possible in some cases to see an extremely trained and experienced nurse making more than a newly graduated veterinarian.

Yes. In the United States there are only 2,000 new veterinarians that graduate from vet school every year; there are tens of thousands of nurse practitioners who graduate.

Also, the knowledge base of a veterinarian is greater - nurse practitioners are not allowed to perform surgery, which a veterinarian is generally required to do.

A veterinarian's assistant can expect to make 18 to 30 thousand per year with the proper certification or training.
