I'm an NP and was recently proposed a position a a dispensary for medical marijauna. I previously worked in pain management and I can say that pre-pain management I did not totally agree with the medical marijauna but I soon learned how misinformed I was on the subject. I am 100% for the use of medical marijauna and think when it is controlled (not junk) the benefits are so muchbetter than the insane amount of narcotics pts take. Professionally however, being associated with a dispensary makes me nervous, any NPs work there?

BostonRN13, Yes, we have already discussed renegotiating my pay after 1 year. Of course, if i start at $50 I cant imagine after one year they'll offer anything more than $60, so I may have just shot myself in the foot with this situation. So now im curious after 1 year of work assuming I was making $60 to start what would be a reasonable expectation or demand on my part for the position? $65? $70? $75? The only NPs i know making hourly rates at the $70+ in my area are very seasoned and work for Kaiser.

Dangit :-( Juan de la Cruz, Can you tell me where you are finding these jobs in socal? I'm looking to re-locate back to Socal (where i'm from) in the next 8 months or so. I thought I did good with the $50hr new grad but I guess im wrong. 2 of my classmates just accepted positions paying $40 and $43/hr so im better off than them. Sacramento is where i'm at right now so cost of living isnt so bad compared to SF/Bay area

I graduate in a month and I was just offered a position! (YAY!) My classmates have also been offered positions however no one seems to talk about pay. I would like to know what folks are being compensated for both hourly and salary for my own negotiating purposes. The position was offered pretty quickly (during the interview) and I wasn't prepared to state my salary requirements so I said $50/hr and they agreed to it then I basically tried to up my game and asked them to increase it after the training period. I was offered in a private practice $50/hr and after training period $53/hr If you are hourly do you have administrative time included (ie. lunch time charting?) What is your CME allowance? how much paid time off?

Hey guys, congrats on getting in or applying! I'm already a student of smu!
