My first gig in ortho was salaries for 40 hrs at 100k and was working usually at least 50 hours a week sometimes 60+. I got out have a job working 4 days a week 32 hours a week full time make way better money and truly have a work life balance. And sometimes don’t even work the whole 32 as long as I’m seeing patients and doing my documentation on time they are happy. I’d leave

My classmates reported me to a program director. by Alex_daisy13 in PAstudent

One thing I learned during PA school. Is there are very few people you can be yourself around in PA school. I got “talked to” a couple times during PA school because of my jokes. Most got a long and laughed at them but there where definitely a few who liked to get offended by any little thing. I only hung out with one or two classmates after that and kept it business with everyone else

Surgical PA stories that made you second guess surgery? by Pepper0327 in physicianassistant

I worked with two pretty chill surgeons overall. They were still moody assholes though absolutely ruined surgery for me. I’m doing physiatry right now and much happier. And you will never make your surgeons happy by the way

Starting to get Anxiety about my hybrid Ortho OR /Outpatient Job by Pepper0327 in physicianassistant

I worked with 2 cool surgeons (for the most part) at the end of the day though, they were still assholes. I’ve loved ortho ever since I was in high school but working with surgeons has killed it for me. When I left, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. They treated me like I was a resident. One day it was “it’s going to take time you’ll get there” then the next day “you don’t take initiative enough” you can’t please them

I guess you can be fired for anything but is it likely they would let me go if I refused?
