NPACE nurse practitioner practice characteristics, salary, and benefits survey: 1999. Nurse Practitioner Associates for Continuing Education.

The purpose of this article is to present the results of a practice characteristics, salary, and benefits survey of 1,557 nurse practitioners from the United States who attended national nurse practitioner conferences in Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida, Chicago, Illinois, and Boston, Massachusetts, in 1999. Specific data are presented on the demographics of the population, practice characteristics and responsibilities, benefits for full- and part-time employees, and salary by region, years of practice, type of certification, and location of the practice. The salary data were compared with the 1995-1996 and 1996-1997 NPACE practice characteristics, salary, and benefits surveys (Pulcini & Fitzgerald, 1997; Pulcini, Vampola, & Fitzgerald, 1998).
