Average Neonatal Nurse Practitioner Salary in Venezuela for 2026

How much does a neonatal nurse practitioner make in Venezuela?

A typical neonatal nurse practitioner working in Venezuela brings home around 153,850 VES a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 864,700 VES, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 2,914,600 VES for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior neonatal nurse practitioner working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How neonatal nurse practitioner pay ranges in Venezuela

A good way to think about salary in Venezuela is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all neonatal nurse practitioners in Venezuela earn less than 1,955,300 VES a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 1,273,300 VES (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 2,579,200 VES (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of neonatal nurse practitioners sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 864,700 VES. The highest stretch to 2,914,600 VES, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Neonatal nurse practitioner pay by experience in Venezuela

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a neonatal nurse practitioner in Venezuela, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical neonatal nurse practitioner salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 42%. That is the point at which a neonatal nurse practitioner typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Neonatal nurse practitioner pay by education in Venezuela

Education sits alongside experience as one of the biggest factors driving neonatal nurse practitioner pay in Venezuela. Higher qualifications consistently pull higher salaries, but the size of the gap tends to be smallest at junior levels and widens as people move up. Two people in the same role with the same years of experience but different degrees can end up earning very different money once they reach mid-career.

Neonatal nurse practitioner gender pay gap in Venezuela

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Venezuela is no exception. Male neonatal nurse practitioners in Venezuela earn an average of 1,765,300 VES a year, while female neonatal nurse practitioners earn around 1,942,700 VES. That works out to a 9% gap in favour of women, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a neonatal nurse practitioner in Venezuela

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Venezuela sees a raise of about 5% every 32 months, which works out to roughly 2% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Venezuela, the national average raise is around 4% every 29 months.
