I have to echo everyone's comments about being on call. It doesn't seem like a big deal until someone calls you at midnight or in the middle of a family dinner. I like to leave work at work. Also, I think the certifications you get with the endo job will be value added anywhere you go. Good luck with your decision. Pray about it and go with your instinct. Nurses are known to have well honed instincts.

Thanks for your response and fu - it is mostly medicaid. I am going to ask about no shows. There is apparently a list of about 400 patients waiting for a provider. I would actually be a 1099 - I can totally do my own thing, choose what kinds of patients I do and don't want to see which I like. I also would have totally flexibility about vacation time which is actually more important than paid vacation to me. MH makes a good living so money isn't everything, but I also don't want to be taken advantage of. What kinds of things can I deduct if the overhead is already being deducted in the 50%? I have a tax person too which of course I will consult. I haven't even been formally offered the position, but want to be ready...

family NP - 5 years experience 98k - state of CO

What is it that is "supposed to be provided" has been lacking. What things should I be thinking of?

that is the thing though - it is point zero eight % not 8. It is less than 1% or 8 tenths of a percent.

0.08%of collections, not 8% to billing...

Here is the deal. I am an experience NP- about 5 years experience, some of that part time. The offer is working primary care - I would get 50% of collections as 1099. I would not have any benefits (don't need medical) CEU's etc. I would also have to pay 0.08% of collections to the biller. All office space, personnel, supplies etc would be covered. I work in an independent practice state. This is an NP owned practice. What are your thoughts? Thinks I haven't thought of?

I'm currently negotiating my salary and to be honest, for me its not about the money, but about stepping up for the value of NPs and what we should get paid. If we, as nurses, don't stand up for ourselves, no one else will.
