(1) Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. Estimates do not include self-employed workers.
(2) Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a “year-round, full-time” hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations where there is not an hourly wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.
(9) The location quotient is the ratio of the area concentration of occupational employment to the national average concentration. A location quotient greater than one indicates the occupation has a higher share of employment than average, and a location quotient less than one indicates the occupation is less prevalent in the area than average.
How to Become a Family Nurse Practitioner?
A Family Nurse Practitioner is the perfect career path for those who want to treat a complete range of patients, from young adolescents to the elderly. FNPs typically work in medical centers, hospitals, offices of physicians or with nurse practitioners. They are responsible for carrying out a number of important medical tasks such as prescribing medication and conducting physical exams. In order to become a Family Nurse Practitioner, nurses will have to complete a Master of Science in Nursing Degree (MSN) from an accredited institute. Please note that to be eligible for admission into this two-year long degree, students will need to have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree at least.
