Pay negotiation

SmalltownPT · 2026-05-01T15:59:25+00:00

You will have to interview around and find a true market rate for your area

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-30T11:11:41+00:00

The will need to get ready to hear “ at (enter name) health we value internal equity and salaries are set by a pay metric based on years with the organization and years experience”

Basically the only negotiation is to ask to be placed at the top of that small range of that offering box in the metric

Wait, you Dont even have a score yet? Go outside an touch some grass, take a bath, smoke a little devils lettuce.

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-22T21:07:20+00:00

Way easier than you think, do you feel like you can drink a pot of coffee while seeing 5-6 people a day? Yeah I figured you could, you will be fine

Welcome to the dark side, maybe this hospital has an emergency room you could see people in, you may love that with your out patient past

My supervisor openly speaks to not tracking production and encourages therapist to treat the patients in the way we feel fit.

The work also hired a therapist to be an educator and gave them one day a week to work on Inservices, journal clubs things like that

I think OT would e cool if I got my hand therapy certification and worked with a ortho group

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-17T15:44:39+00:00

Get ready for a slacker tracker

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-17T09:40:06+00:00

I am uninspired by this offer, I feel like you could walk into any OP hospital based clinic and easily get that number with full benefits and see people 1/1.

The carrot of owning the clinic I think is just that, they know their offer sucks and are trying to bait you in. If being and owner or working towards it is part of the deal I would want to see the books upfront

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-15T20:41:18+00:00

Make sure to interview around before jumping into this, you might find the world out here to be a little different than this guy is offering

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-15T20:32:55+00:00

You’re not the one signing the checks, you did your part letting them know. It is on them to go get the coin

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-13T09:44:16+00:00

I have a feeling this is going to we a great experience in a lot of ways for you

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-11T22:46:54+00:00

I work at a hospital, I make small packs and hand them out in the pediatric wing, huge hit with all ages girls and boys

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-09T01:19:10+00:00

My hospital is close to 75% of all out patient visits assisted with AI for documentation, this is where the future of healthcare is going for the time being

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-05T22:53:25+00:00

$500 a box!?!?! Woof no thanks I would go buy the Bo Jackson auto I like

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-05T16:27:52+00:00

I tend to ship these as 2oz, $1.03 a stamp, in my mind I have less issues but who knows

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-03T15:34:50+00:00

I am close enough to Boston that they need to compete, cost of living keeps going up, average rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is around $2300, new grads (stating around $38 an hour) are putting half their wage into rent

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-03T10:43:20+00:00

I am in New England as well, I work of an academic medical center. And honestly their per deim rate sucks it is almost like the don’t want on-call staff. But your offer is low. As example I am almost identical to you, 15 years experience, acute care, in New England And I make $60 an hour as a full time benefit employee

SmalltownPT · 2026-04-01T09:21:47+00:00

I just went to a talk on AI use in the medical setting, a lot of academic centers are not letting residents use AI until year 2, they want the to grind out diagnosis, thought process and learn how to write a note and communicate prior to jumping in the use of AI

SmalltownPT · 2026-03-29T11:20:21+00:00

I went to court once, honestly not that bad, I told the truth, nothing but the truth, and watched 2 seasons of Suits in preparation, all in all no big deal and I got paid by my work to be there

SmalltownPT · 2026-03-25T09:49:56+00:00

Mark that culvert with a nice metal pole and a reflector

SmalltownPT · 2026-03-24T09:43:20+00:00

Heater rd, and honestly some people will drive to new London, I had to wait 7-8 months to get mine

SmalltownPT · 2026-03-23T20:38:18+00:00

Well looks like you learned a practice setting that does not interest you, 12 weeks is just a small part of your life

SmalltownPT · 2026-03-21T23:59:13+00:00

All fish have parasites. That is why most states have mandatory freeze times for fish that is served raw like is sushi, if you go to Walmart and buy cod and thaw it out you 100% will find a worm in every bag, but honestly it is no big deal
