Technically the hospital I work at receives a grant from the state to cover my salary. My clinical supervisor also stated they added raises to the grant budget for this year, yet I've been told we aren't getting raises this year because the hospital is in the hole a couple million. We are doing great as a group. I save the hospital and patients thousands through utilization management and insurance know how. I'm also great with my actual job working with patients. They don't know that because they don't actually truly know what I do. The hospital also knows I'm likely going to leave in 2019 to move back closer to my family and friends (SO is done with school early 2019). They've known that since they've hired me. I am not bound by any contract currently, but I have a sneaking suspicion they will try to tie a raise to a commitment for me to stay longer than I am planning on staying. There's a position open in a specialty I don't like as much across town, and also remote from home positions that would pay me more but I wouldn't see patients. For the area I live in the money is alright, but I have classmates who live in comparable markets making 75k. Also if I leave this job, it could sit open for years potentially, as there's such a shortage in the profession. How do I politely go about asking for a competitive raise without threatening to leave?
