[NP-Clinical] contracts and negotiating for new clinic

[Paula Sumner]

I know  this has been discussed ad nauseum, but i am need of some quick tips for a meeting on tuesday.
  I am being invited to join a brand new integrative med clinic. I am being given the opportunity to build my own primary care (adult) practice with some features like urgent care on saturday, and maybe sports and work physicals.  It has been opened 4 wks and the pts are just trickiling in. The PA quit already 'she wasn't ready to return to work'.
   
  I can start with no income or bennies--that is it would be my own practice to build or
  I can be offered some sort of base salary plus % still no bennies. overhead is $30/hr. There is a receptionist and RN. And a temp plebotomist (the doc was excited to know i could draw blood, etc).
   
  The doc does not know how much to pay an NP (I said $50/hr or 70-75k/yr)-he said once the clinic got busy i'd be making more than that.
   
  i need advice on those who have gone before me.  Do you have a sample contract to share? Haveyou beenin on the start-up of a new clinic where funds are low? What did you negotiate?
   
  Thank you, Paula
