Salary and Negotiation

Specialties NP

Published

I know this has been a thread before, but let's have an updated conversation now that we are in 2017. I am posting this as I am a soon-to-graduate NP student and because I am a female. Nursing is still a female-dominated profession and I would like to empower other NPs (both male and female) to better negotiate and claim their professional worth. I believe one way to do this is by sharing information. Lets do this!

Wow! What state? You're in urology then, since you're doing vasectomies?

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, then certification. It will be a while, 1 or more years until I'll be ready for vasectomies, but once I am that will add a lot to what I bill.

The hospital system that just hired me offered loan repayment but I was lucky enough to make it through grad school on tuition reimbursement and then landed a grad assistant position. I'm in the NE.

Salary: $220k - 40 hrs/week

Benefits: 3 wks PTO, 1 wk CME, 401k w/match, insurance, 10 holidays

Tips: Forget what other NPs are making. Have high productivity. Know how much you are generating in revenue. Negotiate based on what MDs are getting paid - start with 85% of MD pay.

what did you make as a new grad? Any tips for negotiation?

I started at about $135. Be willing to take several part time positions. As you gain experience you can make a better case for higher pay. Leverage pay at one part time position to the others. Then look for full time work. I worked full time and part time - lol!

This seems to be a great way to make more. I think I remember the same advise from Jules...I'm taking notes!
