So after many years as a CNA, LPN, RN, and now APRN for less than 5 years, I have a job offer to write home about. I've had 4 jobs in 4 years. 3 of which lasted less than 6 months. I've been at my current job 6 months next week. I found out a few weeks ago I'm going to be asked to work weekends and holidays. A week before this bombshell, a doc who trained at my hospital while I was in the ICU as an RN called and asked me to come be his aprn. This would be the first job where I would have a seat at the table reviewing practice business, financial information, RVUs, and be responsible for making my salary and being profitable. I'm awaiting my 3rd interview with the office staff and PA who currently works there. After meeting with the practice business manager last week, I am being offered slightly less than my requested salary (which admittedly was very high for this market), but with the opportunity for incentives. I have never been offered incentives. I'm not sure how to negotiate. One of the men said "if we have 100 practitioners we do incentives 115 different ways." I would like to use this to make my desired salary. I'm nervous about productivity as this is a new specialty for me. The doc will train me hands on, but I'm looking at not being able to bill independently for about 3 months until credentialling goes through. What should I ask for? Some websites say RVUs, but not how many or how it would be paid. I'm anticipating seeing 10-25 patients 4 days a week. I can also see new patients. My initial thought was once I am independent and able to bill, to see 2-3 new patients a day and 10-13 follow ups. I want to make sure I'm making the practice money since I asked for a high salary. Help!!!!!! This is my first opportunity since graduating NP school to actually practice as a provider, bill under my name, and maybe be incentivized. It sounds like a great opportunity. I'm hesitant to leave my job with 6 months (another 6 month job) but this sounds like it could be "the one."
