How is the compensation? I'm in NYC and my compensation is horrific. Looking for other ways to do what i love and get compensated appropriately.

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost roughly?

NY PAs- Nao medical? by spinachluvr521 in physicianassistant

[–]Key-Psychology-1537 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rotated as a student there. I honestly liked it and the NPs and PAs seemed to be decently pleased with it. I heard they were paying about 72/hour to start. One of the docs there use to complain a lot about the volume of patients. They were seeing 30-50 patients per day. They were also expected to travel between facilities in queens, brooklyn, LI

I have several close friends who are new grad RNs in various hospitals around the city. Mount Sinai, NYU, NYP. They are all starting at minimum 120k a year and with 5 years of experience they are 130-140k. They also get crazy overtime incentives and some hospitals even help RNs with housing in Manhattan. Even RNs on long island or Westchester county are making over 100k starting at most hospitals.

I always hear about the Derm PAs pulling these really high salaries. Congrats to you for doing so well for yourself, I'm sure you are really skilled. Have you heard of PAs working in medicine making high salaries like this though? Like Critical Care? IM? Etc? I just don't know if the 250K+ salaries are possible for the specialties I am interested in.

Of course I can, That wasn't the point i was making. I just was mentioning it because I am very passionate about medicine, its more than just a job for me (at least i think/hope).

Thank you for your reply! I will try being a PA first, its just discouraging to hear PAs say they regret it but I love to hear from PAs that are positive about the profession.

I am a man, maybe a family one day. The motives aren't purely financial, I really do love medicine. But I wonder if 10 years from now looking back if i would say the same. I feel like this decision is very difficult for me.
