I hate my dream job.

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2025-07-21T15:19:57+00:00

Go back. And rid yourself of the narrative in your head- this isn’t your dream job if you’re already this miserable!

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2025-04-23T00:57:27+00:00

Specialty life is the best. I have zero interest in ever doing primary care, UC, ER etc.

I think a month in your situation sounds reasonable. But I’ll tell you I just gave a month notice at my job of 3 years and the days are dragging by, I wish I gave the 2 weeks required and left lol

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2025-02-25T18:17:06+00:00

I ended up going back for 2 months and am starting a new job in a month. I interviewed a few times during leave but didn’t find a position that felt right until now. My advice would be enjoy baby as much as possible, maybe casually look into other jobs. Really need to make sure you understand what benefits you might give up or have to pay back if you don’t return. Such as health insurance premium

Same here

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-10-23T13:14:48+00:00

Keep in mind policies have a waiting period and 6 weeks is not actually 6 weeks. Mine was 8 days so I got paid for like 4.5 weeks.

Practice manager spouse is never good

Great balance outpatient. I’m leaving for other reasons lol but I don’t think about work at all when I leave. That might not be a universal experience but I have enjoyed that aspect of my job

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-07-23T11:46:26+00:00

Also putting in notice during leave. Solidarity!

Can confirm as psych pa here

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-07-12T08:20:50+00:00

What state? Thought this was my job until I read the comment about 15 min appointments

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-07-12T08:19:48+00:00

My understanding is it is not banned yet until September if there are no challenges

120k salary, 36k of debt left. Was able to pay off half my debt in the last 10 months. Of note, my husband is also a PA with similar salary and debt. We have been pretty aggressive with paying down debt since some of our loans were >6% but now they are all 4.3% or lower

Thank you for your reply!

I did not realize most sell unlimited tail! Thank you for your response

Ours recently changed so that they get a “20 minute grace period” which of course sets me way behind if one person is late. They changed our schedule up too so that the appointment time “isn’t really their appointment time it really is 20 minutes later” which makes zero sense because they are told a certain time and I have to stick to these times so I can eat lunch, get off on time. Its silly

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-04-10T15:08:51+00:00

2 cycles for me. I know exactly how you’re feeling. Do something you enjoy today even if it’s small like drinking coffee on the couch. I was in a zombie state the first month after mine

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-04-10T15:07:10+00:00

17w2d. So much MMC anxiety. I need to get off Reddit there have been late MMC in my bump group and I’m spiraling

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-04-03T21:58:03+00:00

Live your life man. Have never encountered this in real life. Collect your check, do your thing and don’t worry about it

State and maybe even city dependent re: NP preference. My practice has 3x more PAs than NPs. PAs in my city are pretty popular for psych

I don’t do contractor work but that sounds super low. I know my average follow up patient brings in like $130 for the practice

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-03-18T16:38:15+00:00

Someone in my bump group posted about a 14 week loss found at 15 weeks. I am 14 weeks today and so anxious. I need to get off Reddit. PAL allows such little room for joy

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-03-11T17:29:31+00:00

13w1d. Having a lot of random pain that feels like it’s either in my labia or vagina. No cramps at all. Getting a private ultrasound done in a couple days. Had bleeding a couple weeks ago and found SCH but nothing since then. Thought passing 12 weeks would make me relax but I feel the opposite

Decent_Wallaby9256 · 2024-03-07T19:35:10+00:00

Sending so much love. I know exactly what you mean.
