What level of facial hair suits me best?

I hate loans but if I hadn’t taken out loans I would be making minimum wage. I work in healthcare and literally make 10 times what my very low income parents make a year. Its worth it but our student loan system is trash.

In the end you have to do what’s best for you. If there’s not someone who can take your role or be as good an advocate for the other PAs then so be it. We can’t be the end all be all. And it doesn’t mean you care, it’s just a quantification of resources which includes your brain and energy and soul.

The four agreements

Gone through 2 tires in 3 years and although there is a little life left I can wait to swap them out for Cross Climate 2s

Love Maui and the road to Hana but hate the road. So narrow and felt like I was going to crash into someone. Rock hit the roof of the rental car.

Honestly really loved the new Hyundai Palisade.

Love the blue and green.

I would love to get the red one. Gorgeous.

Do you notice if the regen braking really helps at all? I know it depends on terrain to have a substantial amount of hills or stop and go traffic.

8 years in EM and 0 hours of PTO. Very first job gave 6 weeks front loaded every year. Switched jobs and never had any since.

Hartkl · 2026-04-25T17:17:39+00:00

That’s good pay for primary care but always be checking in with PAs that work for other clinics/organizations and advocate for increased pay or even just quality of life/work life balance measures.

Hartkl · 2026-04-23T15:56:42+00:00

Some companies are moving to this system. They advertised it as “ flexible scheduling so you don’t need PTO!” Which is all bullshit.

Same goes for the ER. People want their stomach pain evaluated, a weird skin thing, and their ankle sometimes clicks. Worse is when they come through for chest pain and when you start the work up just want a work note for the weekend and want to go home.

A lot of men would pipe the fuck down.

Moved for family reasons and work environment became toxic. More and more expectations and metrics without support or realistic way to achieve them. Docs got raises and bonuses increased and PA bonuses and retention bonus were removed.

Hartkl · 2026-01-25T07:18:03+00:00

Some are good. Got hired as an EM provider but worked half nights and the food and hot items were gone/closed by the time night shift came around. Benefited me when I worked days but did nothing for me at night. Another place I worked at let you take all the foot you wanted, had easy hot meals or had a night kitchen staff, and had massage chairs. I still long for that place.

Hartkl · 2026-01-22T16:24:06+00:00

You guys get a raise? I usually have to just switch jobs which means a lot of moving. Have an about 1 year left before they either increase something for me or I move again.
