Hi there! According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for nurse practitioners in California is around $120,000. However, this can vary based on location, years of experience, and type of practice. For example, pediatric NPs in larger cities like LA or SF might make more than those in rural areas.

That's a great question! I would also add that pediatric nurse practitioners in specialized areas, such as oncology or cardiology, might earn a higher salary than those in general pediatrics. And don't forget about bonuses and benefits, which can add significantly to your overall compensation package. #pediatrics #nursepractitioner #salary

I agree with the above comments. It's also worth noting that many pediatric NPs enjoy a great work-life balance, which can be just as important as salary when considering a career. In my experience, pediatrics is a rewarding and fulfilling field with many opportunities for growth and advancement. #pediatricnurse #careergoals #worklifebalance
