How Much Do OB/GYN NPs Make?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for an NP in 2024 was $129,210. The BLS does not report specific salary data for OB/GYN nurse practitioners, but available figures likely offer a reasonable approximation of the salary for this specialty.
According to a 2024 report by SullivanCotter, a family medicine (with obstetrics) NP made a median total cash compensation of $140,837.
How Much Do Locum Tenens OB/GYN NPs Make?
Locum tenens OB/GYN NPs can make upwards of $95 per hour on average, however, there are many factors that impact rates including location, years of experience, and the level of demand.
If you were to extrapolate that rate over a year (at 40 hours per week), the average locum salary comes out to around $197,600
That means locum tenens OB/GYN NPs can make up to 53% more than the average provider. However, making direct salary comparisons can be complicated. While perm OB/GYN NPs are more likely to be salaried, locum tenens OB/GYN NPs are independent contractors earning an hourly rate, which can vary based on which assignments they take in a year.
Furthermore, because locum tenens OB/GYN NPs are paid by the hour, the hours they work are directly reflected in their pay, while a salaried OB/GYN NPs additional hours may not be reflected in their salary.
Finally, paid time off and insurance may be reflected in the perm OB/GYN NPs salary structure, but locum tenens providers do have options when it comes to health insurance.
OB/GYN NP Salary by State
The most recent state breakdown of NPs salaries comes from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, though the BLS was not able to collect enough data for all 50 states. While the BLS was unable to report on OB/GYN NPs specifically, the top five highest paying states for NPs salary are:
