Presentation (8-10 slides) answering the questions listed
in Parts 1 and 2 of the assignment. The presentation is to

You are to follow the 10/20/30 rule for presentations: no
more than 10 slides, presentation not longer than 20
minutes, and text is not lower than 30-point font.
For Part 1 of this assignment:
1. Discuss the type of practice and setting you would like
to work out of (specialty, family, geriatrics, hospital,
nursing home, hospice, urgent care, etc.). What makes for
an ideal work environment? What type of support system
and staff do you need? What services do you see yourself
providing? What services are you NOT willing to or are not
comfortable providing?
2. How will you meet your CME requirements while
practicing at this setting? How will you keep track of your
CME hours?
3. What nursing organization(s) interest you in joining, and
how will joining an organization benefit you at your
position?
4. Once you have met the requirements for autonomy in
your state while working at your current position, and for
those of you who practice in a lifetime of collaboration
state, assume you will one day have autonomy. How will
you maintain your collaborative relationships with other
nurse practitioners you have worked with, the practitioners
you have referred to, as well as your collaborative
physician?
, Part 2 of the assignment:
You’ve just been offered a position at the perfect job you
discussed in Part 1 of the assignment.
Besides focusing on patients, reaching a fair and equitable
contract that includes not only your salary and benefits but
expectations of your patient load, the amount of time you
will be spending at the clinic or a health care setting, and
the services you will be providing, will affect how you feel
about your job over time. It’s time now to consider the
position’s job offer.
Part 2:
1. What questions should you ask your potential future
employer about the offer?
2. What salary and bonus structure are acceptable to you?
3. How can you figure out your net worth for the practice?
4. If you are expected to take call, what percentage of your
salary is reasonable toward this activity?
5. List the benefits you should negotiate into your contract.
6. Discuss the practice expectations with your employer.
How can you be sure that you are being asked to practice
within the scope of your practice?
