I won't accept the job offer right away, will ask for a day or two to think about it, tell my current boss and give her an opportunity to match their pay. If not, I will give her my two weeks and accept the job with the other clinic. Does this seem appropriate?
No. It doesn't seem appropriate. I thought your 'issue' was about more than $$? I thought it was about $$, the distance, the fact you aren't appreciated/respected, and there is no growth for you there??? Why make it just about $$? If she wanted to increase your pay, she would have already done so, not under threat of you walking out the door, right?

I would - if the terms are right- accept the new job, and give two weeks notice. "How to move on to another job" was the title of this thread. She isn't your mother, your friend- she is your employer. You owe her what she owes you- courtesy and respect. Move on, already.
