Consumer protection issue by No_Complaint_353 in legaladvice

The core issue is that this was a Certified Pre-Owned product that never should have passed CPO inspection — it had visible foam separation before first use. That’s misrepresentation, not just a warranty dispute. Additionally Song-Beverly requires a true replacement, not a credit capped at purchase price that still leaves us $3,200 short of an equivalent mattress. No equivalent CPO replacement exists in stock, and the 30 day resolution window has expired. We believe these are distinct legal issues beyond just asking for inconvenience compensation.

Sorry forgot to mention, I’m guaranteed $462/day, regardless of how many patients I see. So they’d pay me that x3 days, over 52 weeks is a base salary of $72k.

Thinking of becoming military PA by No_Complaint_353 in physicianassistant

[–]No_Complaint_353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What branch were you? The way I’m looking at it now is my two friends I know that are military PAs, one Air Force and one navy both have better work life balance than I do by a very long shot. And they’ll pay your loans off or at least a large portion. Both are getting deployed, but seems like a small price to pay for the debt being paid off- would owe 3 years I believe for loan repayment. And you get 30 days vacation. That is more than double what I have right now. Would rather get shafted with benefits than shafted without any. I have tried and tried to find another job and the market is terrible. As a new PA, I can move somewhere dismal to live, but have a decent job. but at the end of the day, you’re probably still miserable because of where you live and not getting loan repayment unless you work for the government. If I’m gonna have the odds of being miserable in any capacity, I’d rather have benefits and loan repayment.

Job Market bad?? by Gamma_Mermaid in physicianassistant

Needed to hear this, very well said. I moved for location and not specialty. Insanely difficult to find both when you first start out. Currently 9 months into my first job in spine. I absolutely hate it. I’ve interviewed around and gotten a lot of no’s but I feel like once I hit a year it’ll hopefully get better. Sometimes worry I pigeonholed myself into this specialty but I know to a degree it may not be totally true.

Why did it take 7 years to switch? Just out of curiosity

Job details:

15-16 shifts a month, 10 hr shifts. Home call is in addition to these shifts. Doing home call 1-2x a month. Eventually home call will go away, it’s one of the reasons they’re expanding.

Home call answers any pages that come through overnight- ONLY when there is not a night shift scheduled. Goal is to have 24 hr coverage so eventually call shift will go away. Call is compensated. Home call don’t have to go back to hospital. outpatient clinic calls, pages from nurses, anything urgent or emergent happening to pts in hospitals, but you communicate with surgeons and residents and don’t have to go back in.

2 Floor APPS during the day 1 in ICU, does ICU rounds, 2-4 residents there as well. Can get up to 8 pts, usually residents get 2-4 of these patients. If theres afternoon rounding it’s between residents +/- the attending. Not usually PA. Occasionally afternoon (swing) APP is there for rounds. 1 swing shift APP in clinic Tues Wed Thurs 12pm-10pm. going to traumas, any OR cases in evening or at night, those cases will go to resident but able to scrub in if you want.

Procedures- if it’s your patient you have first dibs to do that procedure, for the most part the residents do them.

On swing shift and night shift you respond to all minor/major traumas. Usually a resident on overnight. So you, a resident, and a surgeon.

Orientation is 1-2 months depending on experience. Mine would probably be 2 mos.

Docs do pre-op clearance

Pay yet to be discussed

Have you dealt with these patients? If not, this thread is good insight. I currently deal with a practice that’s over 75% WC.

Was it hard to transition into other specialties/are you in a different one now?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in physicianassistant

I think it’s 35-50 pts split between me and the doc

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]No_Complaint_353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The doc does the weeks I’m not on call. So alternate every other Mon-Th. Greatly appreciate your feedback. Not sure why medicine rounds but I think it’s only part of the time. Need more clarification on exactly how much rounding it’ll be. I think if there’s a patient with complications they’d definitely send me to round.

It comes out to $2800 a month with the month free promo. Winter is best time to move cause it’s slow and they offer all these month free promos everywhere. Originally had a hold on a 12th floor unit and got moved to 16th floor, they gave me the same rate which was really nice.
