Equal pay for Equal work? If that happens. That is a massive IF, then the Doctors will not choose PC. There is absolutely no reward in that. Not worth their time. Full Stop. they will choose specialties and worst-case scenario, they will start leaving the country. Trust me, there are several countries in the world that would take them and treat them with respect and bathe them with money. That scenario will actually create a huge demand for the PCPs here in the US after a few years. And the chain will repeat once again. PCPs earning more due to the demand and what will you do then? Again demand that NPs should get equal pay? That will not work. That's the end of it. Meanwhile, the corporates will kick us out and started hiring PAs. It's a profit for them. They can employ 3 PAs in place of a single NP. Ultimately, we would be the losers. I'm not ready to lose my job just cause we got greedy. I'm happy with the pay I'm getting. I'm happy with the work I'm doing and I'm certainly happy that I'm working under great doctors who treat me with respect. If you want more money, go ahead. Trust me, there are dozens of new grads, (who are willing to work for less than 100k,) are ready to replace you.

I can't believe that a few people here are actually asking for the same paycheck as the physicians. Common guys, if we want the same pay as the Physician, the management wouldn't hire us in the first place. We were brought in to increase the profit for the management. Instead of complaining about our salary, we should actually pay more attention to the overflow of the NPs in the market. I'm seriously worried about that.
