Answers from Daniel K. Hall-Flavin, M.D. Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction to positive or negative situations in your life, such as a new job or the death of a loved one. Stress itself isn't abnormal or bad. What's important is how you deal with stress.
The pay is good. In 2013, nurse practitioners made a median salary of $92,670. The highest-paid 10 percent earned $126,250 and the lowest-paid 10 percent earned $66,960.
