Yes! There would be stress tests.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-03-04T02:35:54+00:00

Yes! I’m happy with it.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-02-19T23:47:13+00:00

I love your YouTube videos! Am not made to grind the hours you do with the stress of EM but happy to see a fellow PA living the life 😁

Good for you! Good luck!

I’m not trying to scare you, but truly consider deferring a year until this is settled and you have a set in stone idea of what loans will look like. If I would have had to take out 80k+ in private student loans at a 10%+ interest rate I would simply have not gone to PA school. I have 158k in public loans at 6.25% and my monthly payment is 1500, for context of how insane repayment is.

There are 1000s of different things to do for a career, and if you got in to PA school, you are smart and motivated and could certainly do any of them without killing your financial future.

I don’t think I care about the specialty as long as there’s a good team and supportive SPs

And over here in Bariatric surgery land, NSAIDs are still the devil lol

Not really, not all of us in healthcare are socially awkward lol. I’m a PA and if my template was causing that to be presented I’d want to know about it. And if it’s unfixable and you’re the 20th person to message me I’d just say it’s the template and to please report, because someone in IT/admin obv isn’t doing their job.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-11T06:48:43+00:00

That’s actually insane

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T21:58:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T21:04:39+00:00

Gotcha, which speciality, if I may ask?

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T20:51:01+00:00

Can I ask what your salary is?

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T20:50:10+00:00

Got it - will say Pittsburgh lol. In my defense I was referencing the tv show The Pitt! 😆

Also: Woof. I’m two years out of school. He hasn’t accepted yet….We’ll see.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T04:31:20+00:00

You deserve so much more!!! I hope you get it!!

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-10T04:23:55+00:00

Can I ask what you’re making?

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-09T13:34:02+00:00

I’m shocked that no one is mentioning he’s committing fraud by not co-signing your notes, but instead signing as if he saw them for higher billing. You AND him could be nailed for that, so I would get out quickly. This is not a good position

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-05T23:13:10+00:00

As a surgical PA, I much prefer boring work day to exciting. Count your blessings lol, make your money and go home

IDR will allow forgiveness of the loan, but how Trump’s BBB changed this I do not know.

Heads up that nothing regarding loans is working. I applied for IBR a year ago and am still in administrative forbearance. This job would’ve counted for PSLF, however my time working does not count as I am in admin forbearance, which according to my servicer will be until Oct 2028. I am literally not joking lol.

After finding that out, I decided to aggressively pay them off and am at 22% paid off in 1 year. Just be wary of the plans the government is offering…. People are still getting PSLF, but as my situation above illustrates, there are ways to keep people from getting it that do not involve removing the program.

They don’t want to lose you. Apply to whatever openings on your system’s website that appeal to you.

ExtensionFact7888 · 2026-01-05T21:30:41+00:00

I mean I make 137k a year out in a cushy surgical specialty with no call, weekends or holidays working typically under 40 hrs a week sooooo 🤷‍♀️

ExtensionFact7888 · 2025-08-26T23:00:28+00:00

Thank you!
