1. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in NP

   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, assisting the provider, then doing supervised practice, t...

2. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in NP

   Yes, they did. 40,000 over two years. They area national company too. They have hospitals and clinics in 6 states. It is not a government payback kind of situation. It is from them. We do not have a provider shortage where I am from. We have two med...

3. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in NP

   Yes I am brand new. I hadn't even tested or become licensed when I was hired. I expect to see approximately 15-20 patients a day (mostly 20, maybe more if I like), do a few procedures here and there, and my RVU bonus is $30/wRVU over the median I pro...

   Oh, and I work for a corporate institution in family practice but they have 20 over the city and 2 hospitals.

5. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in 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 percent more than I was willing to accept in profit bo...

6. Salary and Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in 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 grad, I know I'm competent and I know I will generat...

7. Nurse Practitioner Contract Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to Combative's topic in Advanced

   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 the NW. I'd love to tell you exactly where but our p...

8. Nurse Practitioner Contract Negotiation

   nursenikki1010 replied to Combative's topic in Advanced

   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 approximately 15-18 patients per day this will equ...

9. I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

   nursenikki1010 replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in Relations

   Honestly. In this time of "patient satisfaction" the line between good healthcare and happy clients is too blurred. And if you've read any research we are losing nurses in droves due to this very frustration. Furthermore, the research suggests that t...

10. Salary and Negotiation

    nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in NP

    fully agree, salary sites give low ball. I don't know why. And if I had just accepted any offer I was given I would be making way less.

12. Salary and Negotiation

    nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in 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 offered a fair market salary because RNs are. But, li...

    nursenikki1010 replied to brista's topic in 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 negotiation. It is very important that you find out what your...

14. New Grad NP Salary vs Hourly Pay California

    nursenikki1010 replied to saynotojello's topic in NP

    I'm in Oregon. I'm just about to graduate. As a new grad I'm going to request 62 dollars an hour or a 115,000 annual salary plus 20% bonus for profits above 2 times my salary. I also want full medical, dental, 401K, 4 weeks PTO and extra pay for when...
