What is a reasonable new grad offer?

[NdoNP]

I was offered a position as a Endocrine NP in the south east with terms as follows:

$95,000 salary +$20/patient seen over 15

Monday-Friday 8-5

1 week vacation

Good office support

No call, nights, weekends, or holidays.

No signing bonus/tuition reimbursement while finishing last semester

No retirement benefits

Health insurance for employee with 50% "base plan" contribution by employer

Clinicals with MD to train for job

Malpractice, licensing fees paid by practice

Yearly CME conference

I am concerned that 1 week sounds low for vacation time. Any suggestions/opinions appreciated.

The only concern I have is the leave. Standard is 2 weeks leave, PAID!!!

I highly doubt reimbursement equal to MDs will ever happen. Let's not forget that the NP is supposed to be a VALUE proposition. If it's going to be equal reimbursement to an MD's services why not just lower the admission bar for med school and create more MD?

Mr. redlion777

You sound more like NOT an NP, you way to think is different. Nurses value partnership, no a boss who can make money out of you because he is the boss. The idea to make money as MD is silly, we ALL know if you want to be a doctor go to med school, but LOWER THE BAR TO BE NP???

I can tell you that I know some MD with subspecialty makes less money than a NP for a fact, but they love what they do and work for a health system.

The view as NP "VALUE" if you are one, WHICH I will question, is different, we are not only for the money, but we understand when someone wants to take you for a ride.

I knew a LVN who did ALL the stress test for a cardiologist for a simple salary, is that fair? I guess we all need a job, and is always someone who will do it. Is that legal, maybe not. That is why some doctors end in Jail and some they get a big fines by Medicare/Medicaid.
