What am I worth?

Published

question? i am a new anp and have been at my place of employment for 1 year now. i am getting ready to renegotiate my contract and am wondering what is fair to ask for in regards to pay. when i joined the practice i was just getting started as an anp and accepted the position getting paid what i was paid as a staff rn. i am having a difficult time because my skills are not "expert" but i know i should be making more than i was as an rn. i work in surgery so i primarily assist in or cases and see post op patients in the office and hospital (so these are covered under the "global" cost of the surgery). i am working in a suburb outside of chicago, il. any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You would still be able to capture some RVU's with your OR assists, right?

Without giving you a dollar amount (as salaries depend on location), I would make a case for a raise based on quality indicators. I would use length of stay, adherence to SCIP, rate of post-op complications as examples in making your case as a worthy employee in this practice.
