1. What is a reasonable new grad offer?

   redlion777 replied to NdoNP's topic in NP

   I highly doubt reimbursement equal to MDs will ever happen. Let's not forget that the NP is supposed to be a VALUE proposition. If it's going to be equal reimbursement to an MD's services why not just lower the admission bar for med school and create...

2. Petition to Force NP Programs to Provide Preceptors

   redlion777 replied to futureeastcoastNP's topic in NP Students

   That's a very generous offer.

7. Disappointment trying not to be discouraged (very long post)

   Um, you have an 80k offer- what you are complaining about? Do you think the NP education doesn't really give you the confidence to be the sole practicioner in a clinic?
