The OP is not just starting out - she's getting back into - the biz. :) sm

I think 20 cpl is a bit high but 12-14 cpl is lowballing it and only serving to hurt yourself and everyone else (in the big picture). If you were at 16 cpl six years ago back in the hospital days, I would aim for at least that again. My reasoning is that it is on the "low end" now (as you've been out of the biz for a while) but also adjusting for inflation. Don't forget to brag up how you can handle fussy requests and get the work done quickly (and consider a premium charge for short TAT or other craziness). Best of luck to you! :)
