What is your rate hourly? I make $50 an hr part time job in a Podiatrist office. I am about to make a job switch back to geri psych, providing services to nursing home residents. We are going to be discussing my rate shortly. Is $50 the norm? I am in new england.
All billing goes under the physicians number. Nothing is billed thru NP

Awesome!
All NPs need to coalesce and demand higher wages. 100-125$/hour is more than reasonable. Anyone who works for less than 70$ /hour needs to do the math and realize your employer (especially in the private setting) is making a ton of money off of you.
I can't discuss the specifics but I'm starting out and I contracted as an IC, not an employee for more than 70 an hour plus a flat fee of over 500 a month for being a medical director, I only negotiated that low fee per month because I'm going to direct 4 other clinics (so I'll get an additional 2000 a month). Normally it would have been at least 1000 a month for just one clinic. I have a lot of experience in contract negotiation in the private sector, but I really think it comes down to how you project yourself whether your in an autonomous practice state or not. But think about it, if an NP's reimbursement is 80-85% of an MD's (with insurance), then our wages ought to be 80-85% of an MD's hourly wage. Once employers and staffing companies get use to us increasing the fee, they'll accept it. That's how it's done. But if you keep accepting that 50$ an hour wage, nothing will change.
