Career win

I asked for the patient cap in writing. They said no. Best 'no' of my career.

PMHNP · 4 yrs · Texas · anonymized

Every verbal promise goes in the offer letter or it doesn't exist. This clinic refused to write down the cap they'd promised in the interview. I walked. Two weeks later I took a role that put the cap, the ramp schedule, and the collaborating-physician availability in writing. A year in, the written terms have held. The clinic that wouldn't write it down? Three NPs have churned through that seat since.
