According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, NPs in Texas earn an average of $130,010 a year.
Nurse practitioners have a restricted scope of practice in Tennessee. Restricted scope of practice means state laws restrict the ability for NPs to practice in at least one element. They require a career-long supervision or management by another healthcare provider.
NPs in Texas are required to complete 28 hours of CE to maintain licensure, along with two courses. The courses are geared towards geriatrics, and nursing jurisprudence and ethics.
Acute care nurse practitioners are the highest paid NP specialty.
