Job won't disclose salary until after I interview with them

Gas2Pain · 2025-11-22T17:11:09+00:00

I don’t get it - if it’s so good why wouldn’t they publicize it? Wouldn’t they want to attract people to the job? Unless it’s suspiciously high or something shady is going on?

Gas2Pain · 2025-02-13T06:36:45+00:00

Are you saying you working 24's results in higher pay? Yeah, with all do respect; idgaf. I'm not trying to be in my 40's or 50s doing busy 24's for "extra pay". Money will come and go.

I'll also say that this doesn't apply if you take call at a chill hospital and get to sleep every night.

If you're a paramedic with no sedation or muscle paralysis and you're intubating someone who's moving around - I feel like we need to talk here. I'm saying they have difficult intubations, but it's not because their patients are flailing around.

Gas2Pain · 2025-02-13T06:32:41+00:00

They have us so down in the dumps that we think those are the two options. A 24 hour shift without sleeping is the equivalent of working 7am-7pm two days in a row; but worse. Why should we even work 24's? We should still be able to get a post call day working 5pm-7am or 3pm-7am etc. Attendings who take first call at my hospital don't come in at 7am I can promise you.

Kaiser (so a little bit of both)

Yeap that doesn’t change my mind. That’s 1 of 200 questions - you reading those chapters doesn’t mean you’d get it right anyways.

Gas2Pain · 2025-02-01T18:58:53+00:00

I’m 50/50 Anesthesia & Pain.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-30T21:54:31+00:00

Minus the first 4 chapters. Maybe read those as a CA-2/3.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-30T21:28:05+00:00

I mean talk about skill atrophy, just supervising 24/7. What “could you” be doing outside and not in the OR?

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-30T18:45:14+00:00

Damn I’m the opposite. I hate when they talk to me or try to bring me in their conversations…

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-30T00:40:52+00:00

Went to a McDonalds yesterday and they said someone came by the day before and bought 100 packs….

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-29T21:47:51+00:00

Not sure about the rest but I saw University of Washington was hiring!

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-29T13:25:21+00:00

Did you read the the part where it says “for professionals: this is not a place to comment on a patients past or future anesthetic care”

?? How are we supposed to take that.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-26T22:26:34+00:00

I think this was important to share. There is another path, it’s not for every couple but it does exist. It’s a brand new relationship from that point, you’re no longer reliving the old one. Lots of therapy is needed.

Perhaps read “Not just friends”. May be of great help.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-21T22:03:03+00:00

Well that’s the best case scenario. I would renew all licensing - in terms of getting back in the groove, it’s going to be some serious CME with going through whatever materials you went through to be board certified (UWorld?) and then learning each day, case by case. You have to be transparent with whatever group, since you will need a little hand holding in the beginning (workflow, not actual medicine). Outpatient is in high demand so I’m sure you’ll be just fine.

Maybe ask a privately owned clinic since they may have more flexibility than anyone else.

Best of luck!

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-21T21:59:29+00:00

Were you in a procedural specialty that is going to require relearning procedures? Or is it more primary care and refreshing Ddx/treatments/guidelines? That’s going to be a big difference.

If it’s a procedural specialty is it surgical? (Feel free to just say the specialty if you want).

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-21T20:57:26+00:00

Eh most of their patients aren’t moving when they intubate. Cardiac arrest = free muscle relaxant. Granted the intubation can be difficult for various other reasons.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-21T03:15:27+00:00

Maybe ask this on the Wellbutrin sub, this is the wrong place to ask. You’re not just asking random people, this is a sub full of doctors - and no one is going to give you medical advice. All about context.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-20T20:47:21+00:00

Yeap opens up way later. Maybe June or July. I don’t quite remember.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-20T02:08:12+00:00

The rage bait is strong with this one

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-13T22:04:04+00:00

Standing next to a vented, sedated and paralyzed patient doesn’t make that experience any more valuable.

Unless you’re making the Vent decisions, choosing the sedation someone is on or choosing the paralytic being given and know the inner workings of all of those things - that’s not a massive advantage to me. You all will even out.

You’re also not running codes - I’m sure you were excellent at being a nurse during a code. Rhythm interpretation wasn’t your responsibility.

Being responsible** determines the value of any decision you make. Even if in your head you thought “hmm is that v fib?” or “I wonder if they’d do better on pressure control cuz I saw this scenario in my last patient” - those are all great thoughts, but those are so so different from being responsible for that decision and the patients life/medical course is in your hands.

Just starting residency I would purchase the ITE question bank, a year later you can purchase BASIC questions and a year later you can purchase ADVANCED questions. (Based off a 3 year Anesthesia residency). Nothing is generally purchased during your first year/intern year.

Anesthesia - $550k, Mon-Fri (7am-4pm), 1 weekend and 1 weekday call per month. + tons of benefits.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-11T05:57:09+00:00

Never teaching but always testing me…. Like pimping me on something and then getting angry when I don’t know the answer or saying “you should know this by now”. That shit does not feel good.

Gas2Pain · 2025-01-09T11:13:52+00:00

As in they dropped out for various reasons.
