Nurse practitioner careers

My partner is finishing a family nurse practitioner (FNP) degree at a top place in the northeast and we are considering Houston as I’ve been offered a great job and it’s a good city to work in the healthcare industry. If any of you know any NPs or FNPs I’d love your thoughts on a few questions

  • what pay and benefits (including tuition assistance?) are typical?
  • what are the best and worst hospitals to work at?
  • is it common to work at a mixture of inpatient (hospital) and outpatient (local clinic) within a single system?
  • given the restrictive licensing in TX, how crucial is it to partner with a supportive physician and how can one be identified?
  • are there federally qualified health clinics, serving vulnerable populations, that are also good places to work?

Thanks for tips on any/all of these questions
