Discussion
It has been seen that the range of the dermatology nursing practitioner salary in USA is
found to be $86126 to $110437 and the median range is $98527 (Salary.com, 2020). Hence, it
can be marked as moderate salary as per the online data on the salary range of the country. On
the other hand, Mahoney, Schumann and Fox (2018), highlighted that the median yearly salary
range of the country dermatology nursing practitioner are $88200. Hence, the range of the salary
as per the online nursing organization and the article showed similarity in the range. In this
context, it can be stated that the range is more or less matched and effectively provide the idea
about the career prospect in this sector. On the contrary, Tan et al. (2019), opined that the range
of the salary for the dermatology nursing practitioner and nurse are note specific. In this context,
the article also highlighted that the median range is $260500. Hence, it can be stated that the
range of this article is not specific and focused on a specific population. However, there is no
proper indication of the nursing practitioner and nurse’s salary difference. Hence, the range
mentioned in the online resource is more reliable as the range is mentioned is more realistic and
focused on the whole country health care system data. The first article also matching the range in
the online resource. The salary range is different in the second article and the range in the online
resource is more specific and large data based. However, the differences found in these resources
highlighted an amount which is unrealistic and the online resource and the first article effectively
showed the average salary and the median salary range as well.
The information is new as the information has not been achieved in past. Thus, this
information helped in the proper knowledge development regarding the future career aspect in
the sector of health care effectively. Hence, this factor is helpful in proper knowledge
development regarding employment.
