   Oregon. Nope, not urology, family practice. Old school MDs in family practice still do vasectomies here and FNP scope in Oregon allows it. I am not doing them yet, I am working on getting CME,...

5. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   You ask for what you want when you are offered a position. Do not wait until after you start. I asked for 40 thousand more than I was willing to accept in guaranteed salary and then I asked for 5...

6. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

   I agree. I am a new grad and happy to have a guaranteed salary. I expect to be making 65,000ish extra with my productivity. But if I knew my numbers I would negotiate a higher salary. Even as a new...

   This is my first job. I asked for 120,000 base (I didn't expect to get this) with a bonus of 20% over two times my salary. I did not ask for anything else. They offered this, and I accepted. I'm in...

8. Nurse Practitioner Contract Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to Combative's topic in Advanced Practice

   This is a horrible contract in my opinion. I am not sure what is the standard in your area but my contract is 100,000K base plus, 30 per wrvu over my median productivity. I've been told that if I see...

    nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This was in response to another user but it ended up here at the end of the thread. Sorry. This is not true for NPs. It is true for RNs though. Unfortunately, many new grad NPs think they will be...

13. Salary and Negotiation

    nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is not true for NPs. It is true for RNs though. Unfortunately, many new grad NPs think they will be offered a fair market salary because RNs are. But, like MDs an NPs salary relies on...
