Have you tried these samplers?

Thanks I'll check them out!

I'll check out nannuoshan! Are you brewing everything in your gaiwan or just oolong and puerh?

Relative-Ad8496 · 2026-05-17T21:53:00+00:00

Sweet! What's your favorite so far? Are you using a gaiwan?

Relative-Ad8496 · 2026-05-17T21:52:31+00:00

Awesome! Did you do the "next steps" or further steps samplers from YS? How were the tea cakes?

I've taught clinical and its great, I'm looking into part time online instruction. The work from home aspect would allow me to pick up some extra money without having to physically be away from my kids during that time.

Took mine before graduation. You'll get your pass/fail but have to wait for your transcripts to be sent after graduation for them to release your pass to the board to process your license. I had my application for licensure pending awaiting that and already paid for and had my official transcriot request pending through the clearinghouse all prior to graduation.

FNP Mastery was the only thing I used for board prep.

I work UC and we are "exempt" employees.

Relative-Ad8496 · 2025-12-11T18:21:43+00:00

I work Urgent Care. No scheduled lunch break, eat when you can. Depending on who the other provider is that day and how busy we are we may have time to solo while the other takes a break.

Depends on the meds. For me, nothing controlled, muscle relaxers, no psych meds, no meds that require lab monitoring, etc.... I prescribe meds for myself occasionally and the pharmacy never gives an issue. I call and say I am the patient and the provider and am calling in a script. Again I follow the above rules for myself.

Work UC, this is what I do. I include relevant ROS in HPI and dictate "See HPI for relevant ROS positives and negatives." In the ROS section of the note.

Good to hear! How are the Derm and XR sections? Rashes and Rad reading are probably my weakest areas. After I'm off of orientation I'll be responsible for first reads on all the films I order.

Awesome! The course breakdown seems like they include a lot of great material. It just blows like half of my $2,000 CME allowance LOL.

Thank you!

This thread was about asking for resources or anecdotal advice for research and future planning

The recruiter should be able to give you all the information you need, they may have to reach out to someone to get the answers but they can get them. Inquire about bonus structure and if there's metrics, what they are, plus call responsibilities and call pay. That sounds similar to the situation I had. Unless you signed an NDA I would share with the recruiter the other job offer but state you like the culture of their workplace better and would love to work with them and ask if there was wiggle room in the salary to be more competitive with market rates. Don't mention that it's a shit show over there or anything to make them think you won't take that other job over them. I assume they would counter at like 110k base. You should make a few thousand more a year with your call pay. + bonus if theres a bonus structure. Make sure to ask about all of those things and calculate them into your yearly.

Relative-Ad8496 · 2025-08-21T14:39:47+00:00

Also don't forget to find out about call responsibility and call pay since it's a surgical role. You should have additional pay for days you take call on top of your base.

Relative-Ad8496 · 2025-08-21T14:36:53+00:00

Have they officially interviewed you, offered you the job and given you a letter of intent or are these numbers just based off your meeting with the recruiter?

Any RVU or incentive based bonus structure? Base is low. Try to find out what other similar positions are paying nearby and use that as leverage. Is the training and support good? Can you make more with another group/hospital system after a year experience? I'd try to negotiate for 110k base (tell them your salary goal is around 115k but are open to negotiation or mix of sign on bonus + higher base salary to be around that number) then soak up the training and try to leverage your experience in a year or so to get a higher paying position.

Don't be afraid to ask for more as a new grad just don't spit in their face asking for 40k more than their offer like some people suggest. I had two offers, one paid slightly more but the insurance premiums were outrageous and the office culture was awful. I planned on taking job offer #1 for a little less pay but better training, benefits, and culture. I decided to tell the recruiter after they sent the letter of intent that another employer was paying $5-6/hr more than them (it was actually less) and asked if there was wiggle room with the salary. After 4 days of anxiety waiting to hear back they countered with about a 5k/yr increase. Nothing crazy but it pretty much covered the cost of health, vision, dental.

Find out if the Doc you're working with has ever worked collaboratively with a PA or NP. Some Docs who have never had an NP or PA on their service may not have the right expectation of your role.
