KNOW YOUR WORTH:
RVUs, Negotiation, Compensation & Being You
This program teaches you the real-world skills behind professional confidence, fair compensation, sustainable career decisions, and the boundaries that protect your longevity as a clinician.
It’s the roadmap that helps NPs stop settling for less, stop doubting themselves, and start leading their careers with clarity, power, and purpose.
You earned the degree. You stepped into practice.
But navigating your career, your value, and your compensation as a nurse practitioner?
That’s the part no one prepared you for.
Know Your Worth was built to change that.
Built by a Clinician Who Learned This the Hard Way
Brendan Tennefoss, DNP, AGPCNP-BC, ACHPN, is a nurse practitioner with clinical experience spanning primary care, telehealth, and hospice. Know Your Worth was built from the contract negotiations, RVU structures, and compensation conversations he navigated without a roadmap. This course exists so you have one.
You'll Walk Away Knowing How To:
Build an unshakeable sense of professional worth, including how to understand your unique value as an NP and stop measuring yourself against a physician benchmark that was never designed for your role
Evaluate jobs and contracts with confidence, including how to spot red flags before you sign, understand what salary, benefits, RVUs, and "flexible schedules" actually mean in practice, and know when an offer is fair and when it is not
Understand RVUs, productivity, and compensation once and for all, including how to read RVU structures, evaluate whether productivity targets are realistic, and negotiate using actual numbers rather than guesswork
Design a schedule that supports your life and well-being, including how to advocate for admin time, realistic patient volume, and visit lengths that do not compromise care or burn you out
Explore career paths beyond traditional outpatient practice, including functional medicine, telemedicine, consulting, industry, leadership, and education, and identify which roles align with your strengths and long-term vision
Protect your energy, prevent burnout, and build a sustainable career by establishing boundaries, recognizing unhealthy work environments early, and choosing roles that support rather than erode your well-being
Own your career direction instead of letting a job dictate it, including how to plan intentional pivots, navigate specialty transitions, and build a professional identity with clarity and confidence
If You’ve Ever Thought…
“I don’t know if I’m being paid fairly.”
“I feel behind compared to everyone else."
“I have no idea how RVUs work.”
“I don’t want to feel burned out this early in my career.”
“I don’t even know what other career options I have.”
Then this course will remind you of something essential:
You are not “just an NP.”
You are a clinician with value and it’s time the system reflects that.

Who It’s For
This course was made for:
Experienced and New NPs who never received a clear explanation of how RVUs, productivity models, or contract terms actually work
What Makes This Course Different
Most NPs spend years figuring out RVUs, contract red flags, and compensation structures on their own, often after already signing an agreement that did not serve them. Know Your Worth was built so that does not have to be you.
Every enrollee receives lifetime access to all course materials, including future updates, downloadable resources, and lifetime email support. If the course does not deliver, you are covered by a 30-day full refund policy.
What Other Clinicians Are Saying
Ignite is very informative and I enjoy watching the videos that are fully supportive and realistic of scenarios of not just NPs or student NPs, but as an entirety for all medical/student individuals.

Many clinicians combine Know Your Worth with Financial Essentials for Clinicians, which explains taxes, income types, and financial planning concepts relevant to healthcare professionals.
You may also benefit from Foundations for Success, which helps nurse practitioners understand credentialing systems, professional identifiers, employment benefits, and the administrative foundations of clinical practice.
