Abstract
The nurse practitioner profession is dominated by females, yet studies demonstrate that male nurse practitioners out earn female nurse practitioners by approximately $13,000. The question posed is why does this phenomenon exist. Do negotiation practices differ among genders and do these differences play a role in the gender wage gap?
