The right decision??

I am wondering did I make the right choice. I turned down a PT job due to pay. Pay was $41.00. CME $600/year to start after 6-months. And 20% productivity pay. No benefits. I am a new grad.

    41/hr is about 85k/yr. That's crap for my specialty but competitive for others. 20% productivity is token. The CME is irrelevant. It's a part-time job.

    Idk if you made the right choice but it doesn't "seem" like the wrong choice.

    I also forgot to add that the job required on-call, one time per week. I was told there would be no additional compensation for that.

    If I had decided on the 40 hour a week position that would have been approximately $78k/yr. I just thought it was low; but, hearing perhaps it was not the wrong choice --- I feel slightly better.

    Much depends on where you live: in California, that pay isn't close to what RNs make - however, in some more rural areas, it would considered on par with your peers.

    This. I made over 80k as a ADN so there is no way I'd take on the extra liability for that amount. If they aren't offering benefits as a W2 employee for my part time jobs at this time I'm making about 17% more per hour than my job with benefits. I also get paid extra for call at my part-time jobs.

    How is productivity calculated? If you would get 20% of your total generated revenue plus $41 an hour that might work out pretty good for you in the end, most established NPs bring in over $300k/year, which would put your productivity pay alone at $60k/yr.

    The pay itself doesn't seem terrible for a new grad, although it depends where you live. On the other hand, I've heard that PT jobs usually pay more per hour because they aren't paying for benefits. I'd say it's a low-ball to mediocre offer so you didn't make the wrong choice. You wouldn't have been wrong in accepting it either. It all comes down to how you feel about it personally.

    Can I ask, are you specifically looking for a PT position? Or would you prefer FT?
