Agree with uronurse and Boston.

I'm a new NP in Florida. I know we cannot prescribe controlled substances, but can I legally taper a benzodiazepine dose to wean a patient off over time? Thanks

Thank you for the comments thus far. I have a couple more interviews set up for this week in completely different environments (i.e. Primary Care and GI offices) so I'll see how it goes.

I'm a new grad NP and had my first interview yesterday. The job is with a private practice physician who sees patients at something like 10+ facilities (inpatient, SNF, ALF, and outpatient in his office too). I really don't know much about the contracts/negotiating/business aspect of this. He offered me a job and gave some options of how I could work with him. One option was salary at $100,000/yr. Another is entirely productivity pay at 70% of billing after overhead. He says there is basically no limit on how many patients that I can see. Benefits seem less than desirable in both scenarios since he is the only provider and there is no 401k or group health insurance rate. I think if I went with the salary option I would ask for productivity bonus. Does either option sound good to start? What else should I ask for in my contract?
