I think you should practice your negotiation skills w/ him. If he declines, nothing lost. The terms he's presented right now are not favorable. Make a case for what you want, and you will build your confidence for future job offers.

Yes, all MN/MSN's (or even the old BS degrees) who are NP's will be permitted to continue practicing after the cut-off. This is why I chose the MN route this year -- it was the last year my school offered it!! After 2015 or so, a DNP will be required...

A lot of cool public health jobs that focus on international projects in my area require MPH degrees. However, there is a lot of competition & more graduates than jobs here. I don't think a MSN is that valuable without a clinical focus, and NP li...
