New Grad finally got a job offer!!!! What do you think of the details?

Published

Hey guys, so I was FINALLY offered a job!!!! I'm so happy. Need your insight in making sure it's a good decision. These are the details:

Pros:

  • Salaried position (I'm not sure if it's a pro or con)
  • Starting Salary $105,000 (I initially asked for $100,000, I live in Houston)
  • 4 weeks PTO
  • 7 Paid holidays and 1 "floating" holiday (well, technically salary pay, right?)
  • $2500 CME reimbursement yearly
  • between 16 to 24 patients a day.
  • I will be in a team of 4 NPs/PAs every day, so I won't ever be alone.
  • Medical & Dental coverage included. Disability, etc. (401k available after 6 months)
  • Seems relatively laid back with flexible dress code. Very "close family" feel.
  • Malpractice covered
  • Call every 6-7 weeks (week long).

Cons:

  • 5 days a week job (I have NEVER had a M-F job EVER, I have a feeling I will hate this)
  • 40-45 minute commute back and forth
  • I don't think licensing fees/DEA is covered
  • CME days are not separate from PTO.
  • Adults only, will not see Pediatrics (and I love kids).
  • More of a rehab/group home facility, so not much "urgent care" type skills which I love.

That's all I can think of at the moment. What do y'all think? Is there something that I am missing?

Hope to hear from you all soon.

I had an offer starting as a new grad at $110K and my instructor said, "That is really low". I thought it was decent.

what is your specialty? where are you located? $110k is NOT "low" for a new grad NP anywhere, IMO.

I will say that i did turn down a $116,000 job offer as well (after i signed with this job). I was considering it, but it was more of a traditional clinic with high volume patients. i decided the extra $ wasnt worth the stress.
