   Thanks TX RN. Contract states I will get yearly bonus based on productivity. When i asked to increase base further, they said they can increase, but do away with prodictivity bonus. So at this point I wonder: do I want $5K increase now without bonus ...

   Thanks everyone for your responses, you guys rock! As a new NP, or employee not familiar with different types of taxation, it can be very confusing. In fact, had one of my friends not told me about 1099 I wouldnt have had any clue of what this entail...

   I wrote to the manager seeking clarification if this is w-2 position but haven't heard back. As a new NP I agree that I may not get my dream job as first job, but also need to be careful not to find myself jobless with legal issues hovering over my ...

   Thank TX RN. I really would love an IM job, but the contract seems more of a roller coaster than anything. Seems like I can find myself screwed up. Last thing I want is to find myself illegal independent contractor.

   So, I received the contract but haven't signed, don't even know whether or not to sign. Very confusing details: MD's business is referred to as "Employer" and I am referred to as "Nurse Practitioner". Benefits are said subject to change based on cost...

   I like your vote TX RN lol.... I'm thinking of looking at it as an ooportunity for growth, which allows me a flexible schedule with my child. In terms of money, I might just be making what I'm making now as Medsurg RN working PRN with no benefits. In...

   APN Under Construction replied to APN Under Construction's topic in NP

   TX RN, I was not told that it will be 1099, but I'm assuming that's the whole point of them insisting on me being independent contractor than employee. The way they described the situation gives me the impression that it's 1099. They said I will need...

   Thank you so much [COLOR=#003366]CarrotChardonnay for your enlightening post. Sounds like the 95K on 1099 comes roughly equivalent to almost 85,000 as W-2 employee? Almost $ 43/hour (currently I'm making $45/hour as medsurg RN working PRN without be...

   Hi Core0, After reading your post I had to look at the paper again. You couldn't be more right. I looked at the list of benefits and yes; it states "health, dental and visual coverage available, medical malpractice, CMEs worth 1K, productivity bonus...

    Thanks Carachel for your response. Your input is very welcome. Minute Clinic has the better offer in terms of pay and benefits. However, I am finding the hours to be a little harsh on me as single mom with no other family. For one, closing time i...

    Hi Thirteen girl... I was under the impression that as independent contractor filing form 1099 you pay more taxes? Also, I'm somehow a lil accounting challenged. $50/hr x 36 hrs x 52 weeks per year comes to almost $93,600 annual... Or is my math wron...

    Thank you so much for your response. I had the same feeling but I thought id sought second opinion from others. The money seems to be more at Minute Clinic and I was just trying to see if others think it's worth. I was told about strict protocol ad...
