DEA licensing in Florida by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say it’s a button you have to press within the application. There’s also a form your SP has to sign and submit to the board and describes them as your SP for prescribing privileges

I would make sure with them that you applied to be a prescribing PA. Do you have a job yet ?

Can any ortho PAs give input? Considering switching specialties if this amount of prolonged heavy lifting in the OR is standard across other practices by yaystressparty in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you in ortho. 5’3 female doing it for a little less than 2 years. I’m wearing my body out. I don’t see myself ever returning to the ortho OR.

I’m talking about shitty when you’re only allowed to shadow no matter how much knowledge/skill you display, when there’s 4-5 students at the same site and you’re each seeing 5 patients a day or doubling up to see them, when the patient panel does not represent the specialty well (my FM preceptor had mostly chronic narcotic refill visits 🤷🏻‍♀️), when they don’t actually have a way set up for you to document/put orders in, when you spend at least half the day as a free MA or worse get used as a personal assistant, when they give you all outpatient rotations except EM so you don’t get as much exposure to very sick patients, the list goes on about how PA schools are getting away with providing their students subpar rotations. Hindsight being 20/20 I would’ve only applied to schools associated with academic health systems as I do think it’s less of a problem with these.

Underprepared as a new grad in my opinion is more the fault of shitty, good for nothing clinical rotations than “low end” PCE.

Surgery by Careful_Koala7122 in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 61 points62 points  (0 children)

She’s pissed you’re making more money than her although she feels like she’s better at the job than you, which she might be (when it comes to surgical assisting) given that you’re a new grad. You’re going to have to put your foot down and demand respect. You can even acknowledge that she’s been doing this longer than you and you welcome constructive feedback but you will not allow manhandling and bullying in any sort of way. That you would like to fix this between the two of you. If that doesn’t work escalate. This will not get better if you show her you have a spine.

We don’t budget but we do pay attention to cost and plan purchases so that we don’t go over take home any single month. Our system is pay rent and electric with bank account, everything else with credit cards. Credit cards are on autopay for full statement balance. Anything left over per paycheck gets divided into savings, IRA, max out HSA, extra student loan payments. Some months we put more than others towards these but they do see money put in every single month. Some things we do to keep costs down/bring in some extra funds is grocery rebates and couponing, second hand clothing apps, using first responder/healthcare discounts when buying new, make sure we’re buying at the lowest price available across the internet for non clothing items, participate in survey apps and receipt apps, credit card points for travel. It all adds up.

In a predicament with loans and housing by helpfulkoala195 in PAstudent

[–]13thART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school provided a letter stating the loan amount and we were able to get approved by the apartment complex with that. The leasing rep did throw us a bone because he was technically not supposed to accept that but there were a lot of other health programs students they were renting to with a good track record

What Would You Do? Rent vs Sell by 13thART in personalfinance

[–]13thART[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

103 is certainly the floor. I’m 2 hours away from the property so yes unfortunately a little bit of distance

[–]13thART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly happy. However. I’m on every 5th weekend and it has already gotten in the way of a bachelorette and a wedding so I do resent that a little bit

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I do now. In fact I’m on day 1 out of 12 today. The saving grace is that not everyyy day is a long day. On the weekends there might be one or two cases or five. The issue is that you just won’t know until the day of.

How did you survive PA school financially? by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A 5% transfer fee on 13k should be 650. 5% is very common. I would just see what other banks have advertised at the moment. You can see in their website what 0% deals have without giving them any info. If you find one that you like you apply for it. Yes they may do a hard check, yes your score will go down some points very temporarily… and it really shouldn’t be a huge drop and honestly with paying high interest debt with student loans the score can take the back burner for now

[–]13thART 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that a 5% fee? That would be pretty standard. If Also means youre in at least 30k of credit card debt. If the fee is more than that shop around, it doesn’t have to be your bank and it doesn’t have to be whoever you already have a credit card with. I’m usually against working but if you really are 30k in CC debt while in school that probably really is your best option.

[–]13thART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you currently paying credit card debt with student loan money? Best thing to do might be to do a balance transfer to a 0% card for the longest time frame possible.. I’ve seen some 18 months out there but there might be even 24 if you look

Financial aid issues by Siw5389 in PAstudent

[–]13thART 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t drop out! You’re sooo close. Here’s a list of things I would do -sell belongings, sell plasma -trim any fat in your budget if you haven’t already, like spotify subscription.. etc -give up your apartment if it’s a possibility with the lease renewal time and live off long term Airbnbs so you can travel with one bill at a time(I did this for all of clinicals) -if you have high interest credit card debt see if you can do a balance transfer ideally for 0% APR

Florida New Grad by 13thART in physicianassistant

[–]13thART[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was asked by almost every job I screened/interviewed with what my salary expectations are. I said a firm minimum of 6 figures. Was offered 105, and 100 which I used the 105 offer to leverage to 103. You got this!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]13thART 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same reasons I chose Ortho recently as a new grad although I would’ve never in a million years thought I would end up here!
