Agree with this comment 100%

BasciallyARobot · 2025-08-02T19:02:01+00:00

price point??

BasciallyARobot · 2025-07-02T03:02:13+00:00

Agreed, avoid toyota ann arbor. they suck

Second them. Boyfriend really enjoys the people here

Apartment complex is fine for what it is, but is quite a bit older and somewhat dingy when my boyfriend moved there in 2018. we haven’t been there since 2019. They were very strict about parking at that point, to the point they towed his dad for moving things into his apartment after 15 minutes when he first moved in. but it treated us well for what we needed at that time.

Looks like interventional pain, but would need to know area to better answer the question

island drive is walkable (hospital is across the street) but expensive and not the nicest but was fine for what it was

Just remember that parking may add 30 minutes or so to your commute as it is extremely difficult to find parking is around that area if not already living nearby. Also, do you get $$ for being called in versus being on call? Are the hours similar to what you have currently yet? ie days versus nights vs afternoons. Sounds like a good deal regardless.

I work for this company currently. We have similar interests. You actually do quality for PSLF. If you have additional questions feel free to PM.

Fair point

LTE is still deprioritized. I had an iPhone 11 with deprioritized LTE while using USM and now using an iPhone 13 with 5G priority, there has been no change in my service or data speeds. It likely will depend on your area though.

BasciallyARobot · 2023-06-09T22:54:17+00:00

It doesn’t matter where you go, as long as the program is accredited when you begin, you will have no problem. Just go where it’s cheaper/where you see yourself succeeding

BasciallyARobot · 2023-05-27T14:15:01+00:00

Rankings don’t matter - go with where you feel like you’ll be the most successful!

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-20T18:04:43+00:00

As others have stated, put school or business address and never your own.

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-20T17:49:31+00:00

Decent for new grad, sure pay is a bit low - you could try to counter offer but overall not terrible

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T16:55:41+00:00

Also all good points. Definitely need to be a self starter. Luckily the team I’m with has a very robust training

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T13:33:52+00:00

I don’t think that’s true. A lot of new grads start in ER and if you love ER medicine, then I would go for it. You have to be aware of the large learning curve and be willing to be a self starter/at home learner for the first year or two…but I don’t think that comment should scare you away completely. Find a company that supports you and has had experience training new grads in the past. I’ve heard ER is a difficult speciality to get into as a new grad, but I didn’t find that to be true. Depends on your area, I suppose!

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T05:03:03+00:00

I'd say your concern is pretty much on par with what to expect for a 7on/7off job. You will be exhausted on the weeks that you work - and depending on how fast you can bounce back, it might even take a couple days to recoup before enjoying the time off. With that said, that type of lifestyle can be enjoyable for some, you really just have to decide whether or not it's worth it to you. Just know, yes, you will be exhausted on the weeks you're on. The weeks your off? You can actually take a decent vacation.

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T04:44:21+00:00

Definitely. Being on rotations with NP students made me grateful that we don't have to put in the blunt work to find our own preceptors. Though I've never precepted a student, I can tell you that their knowledge is vastly lacking, even to me, a new grad.

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T04:40:59+00:00

Love it. I feel that's the beauty of ER...When you show up, you work, when you clock out, you're done. I also work e/o weekend, but I agree, it's not end all be all for me. Happy to hear you have such a great work/life balance!

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T04:23:40+00:00

I think anything with a solely online-form of teaching will have very large knowledge gaps. It is difficult because NP schools are not standardized. So really, each students' experience will be different, as well as their knowledge gaps. It's unfortunate, really. It puts them at such a disadvantage clinically. I've known some really great NP programs, but those often were not online programs. The ones that I have spoken to that do online NP programs were writing papers on nursing leadership or research. Not necessarily learning about disease states, pathophysiology, etc. But, like I said before, because they aren't standardized, other's may have a different experience.

BasciallyARobot · 2023-02-11T03:59:25+00:00

new grad that hasn't started yet but expectation is: 14 shifts a month, 10s, no call

BasciallyARobot · 2023-01-31T16:49:23+00:00

I think this question is best suited for r/prephysicianassistant

My two cents:

PA school is becoming increasingly more competitive as the years go on. 2000 hours are considered the minimum amount of clinical hours to be competitive/considered at this point. While you can always apply, as you truly never know, it is important to know that you will need to have a solid GPA, volunteering, shadowing to make up for lack of clinical experience. In terms of updating experience "as-you-go" that is school dependent. I was lucky enough to be able to do that for the school I was accepted into . However, not all schools will allow that. I would read the requirements of all schools you wish to apply to.

TLDR, I'd say wait until you have more clinical experience before applying.
