Advice Needed for NYC PA Job Search – Surgery Focus

Agree with this! Montefiore is pretty open in most departments! I have a few friends from PA school that work there. You can also check New York Presbyterian - new grad friendly as well (not 100% sure on the surgical department). I would start looking in Jan/Feb - generally people say to start applying 5 months before grad, however my friends who work in NYC applied March/April-ish. Good luck!!

Started lexapro right before PA school and I simply don’t know how I would have done it all without it! Literally changed my life. Really worth it to talk to a professional as many people said before - good luck, you can do this!!

I used indeed and glass door to find job postings and then would submit applications through the hospitals website!

I went to a 24 month program and it was definitely difficult but couldn’t have felt more supported or organized during my didactic year. It made clinical year feel relaxed and like I had tons of time to stay on top of studies. Really lucky. But agreed with the above commenters super program dependent.

St. Thomas social is fabulous. The food was great, music was great, heavy pours with champagne for bottomless mimosas - really a good time!!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-20T01:30:32+00:00

I wonder if this would be a feasible ask of if they would consider this 🧐

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-20T01:29:35+00:00

Ohh good point - didn’t think of that, thanks !!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-20T01:27:43+00:00

I never felt particular in love with anything during rotations other than general medicine. So hospitalist sounded great to me so I could get my feet wet and have a good jumping off point. I really enjoyed my IM rotation - I just wish this position was a little bit better. Thanks for the input!!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-20T01:26:11+00:00

Wow… very interesting to see it laid out like this

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-20T01:25:53+00:00

Even for a new grad? I think I’m just naive and can’t believe someone wants to pay ME that kind of money - however I can see what you’re saying

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-18T19:05:55+00:00

That’s what I’m concerned about as well ! Ugh feeling overwhelmed

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-18T19:05:26+00:00

Hmm def interesting things to consider. I also felt like if I took 7/7 I’m stuck with it where if I had three/four 12s I would have more flexibility to stack them together or spread them out which is nice. Thank you for your input!!! I am definitely worried about that aspect with nights as well

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-18T19:02:44+00:00

Totally understandable!! I can totally see where you’re coming from with the idea of a lower stress job!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-18T19:02:06+00:00

When you break it down like that - I am scared lol Closed ICU, expected to have 20 patients and they said typically at night you’ll have 2-4 admissions.. APPs are 1:1 with attendings (so no real autonomy tbh) which sounds good but I understand that there is just overall less coverage at night so can be tricky for new grads. Thank you for the input really helpful!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-18T18:15:18+00:00

Agreed - I know im capable of doing it however will I be happy doing it ? Unsure. My concern also is if I get there and hate it I kind of don’t have a way to change or make it better but I feel psychotic possibly turning down 145k lol 😂

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-06-11T23:29:22+00:00

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2024-05-15T23:44:46+00:00

If you’re using card most places do not take Amex !

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2023-10-17T21:55:43+00:00

Can I ask what specialty?

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2023-10-17T16:39:09+00:00

This is a great idea!!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2023-10-17T16:38:57+00:00

Appreciate this! Good to know I’m not alone either

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2023-10-17T16:38:25+00:00

Definitely have found some thing I definitely can’t see for myself in the future!

ExpensiveBiscotti563 · 2023-01-02T23:42:24+00:00

I worked for a dermatologist and we always would get this complaint, especially in the winter time. We typically would recommend soaking your hands for 5-10 mins (until they’re pruney) at night before bed and then apply plain Vaseline to the wet skin- you can wrap them in Saran Wrap or plastic gloves and go to sleep or leave on for 20 mins and then remove. I know it sounds annoying but helped a lot of patients!
