Area of Science:

Nursing Salary Research
Healthcare Economics
Gender Pay Gap Analysis

Background:

Previous studies indicate male nurses earn more than female nurses.
Limited research exists on gender salary disparities specifically among nurse practitioners (NPs).

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate if a gender pay gap persists among nurse practitioners (NPs).
To determine if salary differences between male and female NPs remain after accounting for work setting and demographics.

Main Methods:

Analysis of salary data from 6591 full-time nurse practitioners (NPs) using the 2012 National Sample Survey of Nurse Practitioners.
Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses to examine the relationship between gender and earnings (2011 pretax income).
Models controlled for demographic and work-related characteristics.

Main Results:

Male NPs earned $12,859 more than female NPs, even after controlling for individual differences.
A smaller gender gap of $7405 was observed for recent NP graduates, which increased with professional seniority.
Significant salary disparities favoring male NPs were found across all clinical specialty areas.

Conclusions:

A substantial gender pay gap exists for nurse practitioners (NPs), irrespective of experience level or specialty.
Healthcare organizations should conduct pay equity assessments to address and rectify salary inequalities for NPs.
Findings underscore the need for interventions to ensure fair compensation for all nurse practitioners.
