newpnp20

I just finished my MSN and passed the PNCB boards exam last week. I had a potential job lined up from an office that I did my preceptorship (metro Atlanta, GA private practice) at and I think it is a great fit for me. I met with them today to start getting a contract together for me and they offered me a starting salary of 80K for the first year and increasing to 90K for the second year, with regular yearly increases from there in the following years. The main physician and practice owner has never had an NP work for him before, and he said that he "asked around to some of his colleagues in the area" how they pay their new PNPs and thats how he came up with that number. My question to everyone is...is this standard? Were you given a different salary for the first year than the years following? I am just trying to see how hard I should come at them with negotiations. Thanks in advance everyone!
