New Grad Offer

New PMHNP here looking for opinions on a PRN SNF psych offer in Oklahoma.

This would be a side gig (l1 day a week (not my primary job). Current offer is:

- $35 per patient encounter
- $15 telephone management note
- $.78/mile reimbursement
- malpractice covered
- precharting done by staff the night before
- mostly follow-up geriatric psych / memory care patients
- they estimated around 25–30 patients/day
- usually 1 facility/day
- W2 PRN position

A few things giving me pause:
- contract has a 120-day notice requirement from provider side
- 2-year noncompete/non-solicit language (although they verbally clarified my outpatient psych private practice + university psych job are fine and they mainly care about competing nursing facility work)

They do seem reasonable overall and have already clarified some contract questions for me.

For those experienced in SNF psych:
- Is $35/encounter reasonable for this type of setup?
- Is the workflow usually manageable if precharting is done?
- Is the 120-day notice clause a red flag or pretty standard in SNF psych?
- Anything else I should specifically ask before signing?

Trying to figure out if this is a decent entry into geriatric psych or if I’m undervaluing myself.
