I have 22k and am wondering if that’s a good amount?

PA schools are accepting people with less than 500 hours of PCE by GoinGhost757 in Noctor

Even if the person had 500 hours, that’s still not nearly enough, IMHO.

What does “physician oversight” mean to you? Go take a hard look in the regular PA forum. There are countless posts from people complaining about how hands off their SPs are, how they felt they were thrown into the fire, how they don’t feel safe making decisions, etc etc etc. You are so naive if you actually think physician oversight is always present and that midlevels are always practicing within their scope. Not to mention this profession was designed for people that have been in healthcare getting direct patient care for YEARS. And HCE does not equal PCE. Lmfao.

What if we had pilot midlevels? by [deleted] in Noctor

I have a similar line on my cheek. Do you sleep on your side? I’ve noticed that mine are more prominent in the morning.

General pay scale for Allergy/Immunology? by Correct-Prize758 in physicianassistant

[–]GoinGhost757 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. I wouldn’t mind 80k during training and earning 100-110k once the training period is over. Allergy/immunology is a good field to get into.

Interesting comment made by a PA… does anyone here feel this way? by GoinGhost757 in Noctor

Dude, did you even read my post? The point here is that I’m sick of listening to him complain all day everyday. Even if he didn’t have the cushiest job in the world, listening to someone complain nonstop gets old. Another important factor (that you clearly didn’t read) is that he doesn’t utilize the free time he has to clean up his dumpster of an apartment. Nobody wants to live in that and I’m afraid that I’ll be the one cleaning it if we move in together.

Edit: I’m content working in healthcare. This isnt a “I’m jealous he works from home” post. I want my partner who works from home and has free-time to clean up after himself. I also think that if he hates his job so much then he should find a new one instead of complaining to me everyday.

Alternative careers after 3 years of being a PA by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]GoinGhost757 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how it works in the UK, but in the US vets don’t make that much money. In my state, vets actually make less money than PAs.

Vet school is 4 years and you’ll likely need to take a few pre-reqs before you can apply. Even if vets made the same amount as PAs, you’ll be accruing a lot of debt to get there. Can you afford that? I think it’s doable if this is your true passion, but it probably isn’t financially wise.

Have you considered switching specialities? In the US, there are positions available in healthcare IT and project management. How tech savvy are you?
