Overtime pay?

I think that's completely within your range to ask for. I work prn at a hospital and they were paying moonlighting docs thousands of dollars per shift they were working so I think 100/HR sounds very reasonable.

Thanks Katie, I just don't want to be ridiculous with what I'm asking for since it's almost double of my hourly pay. It would come out to $1,000 a night.

$54 per hour sounds low. It has come up before on this forum that NP's should be making 70-80 percent of MD's pay since it is often the same job. $100 per hour to cover nights. Sounds fine to me.

Another approach would be to try to coax your employer to be the first to put a figure out there for you. Because you never know, your employer might have been wiling to offer you more and you are short changing yourself. In general in negotiations, the side that puts out the figure first is at a disadvantage because it gives the other side valuable information about where the negotiations can go from there.

Thanks for the pointer! I'm new at all of this negation stuff!

$100/hour is what I make to contract-so sounds about right.

What do you mean by "this is what I make to contract"?

Sorry-I'm a contracted employee at my second job. I moonlight. So it's akin to working OT rate of a usual job in my opinion..

I see. Thanks for your input. I really don't want to work too much extra so it really needs to be worth while for me to do it. I feel at $100/HR, it's worth it.
