Hello all--FNP for 2 yrs here. Working in primary care. Recently, I asked my office manager to inform the docs who I work with (3 partners) that I am due for my annual review, as that is what I have come accustomed to from working in the hospital for 7 yrs. I asked if there would be an opportunity to review my salary and possibly increase my PTO days, she replied with a discouraging email, saying that they typically have not done that in the past, only giving a raise "every few years". She said, "I don't know how they would feel about that, but I'll mention it."
Last year I had a raise in my salary and bonus incentive--enough where I felt appreciated after feeling low balled in the beginning (as a new grad, I decided the lower pay was OK, as I was excited to just get my feet wet). Now, I feel I am where I should have started to even the playing field.
My question is how much is a reasonable annual raise? Do you even get one? Is it the norm? I feel no raise at all defeats the purpose of employee retention and morale. Any feedback is appreciated!
