Secure the Bag, Nurse Practitioner: A Guide to Negotiating the Pay You Deserve

When Dr. Davis accepted her first nurse practitioner job for $85,000—less than she earned as an ICU nurse—she thought she was doing the right thing by staying humble. Instead, she discovered the cost of silence, frustration, and burnout that comes from settling for less than your worth.

This eye-opening guide was written for every NP who’s ever been underpaid, overlooked, or told to “just be grateful.” Secure the Bag, Nurse Practitioner combines practical strategy with professional and faith-based empowerment to help you earn what you deserve—without apology.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Research market data and determine your true value by specialty and state.

• Read offer letters and contracts with confidence, including RVUs, benefits, and non-compete clauses.

• Negotiate effectively using proven scripts, email templates, and real-world examples.

• Recognize red flags and know when to walk away from a bad offer.

• Build leverage through specialization, multiple income streams, and business literacy.

• Align faith and finances to make confident, purpose-driven career decisions.

With straightforward guidance and encouragement grounded in wisdom, Dr. Davis teaches nurse practitioners how to move from employee mindset to empowered professional—one negotiation at a time.

Whether you’re a new grad preparing for your first offer or an experienced NP ready to finally be paid what you’re worth, this book will give you the clarity, tools, and courage to take control of your career.

It’s time to stop settling and start standing in your value.
Secure the bag—and your peace of mind.
