Is it better for a nurse practitioner to work in a Psychiatrist clinic or in a minute clinic?


My wife got those 2 jobs offers, the minute clinic does pay for health insurance while the psychiatric clinic doesn't but the wage there is abit higher.

Minute clinics are being scrutinized by the feds and states and will be subject to increased regulation soon, so keep that in mind.

I say the answer depends upon your need for health insurance. Look into whether you could get a private policy that covers you - even a major medical one. Mine costs $90/month and really is only bankruptcy protection. I self-pay for primary care. The increased salary might offset the cost of insurance.
