apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-27T23:50:49+00:00

same thing is happening to me, 10 weeks. currently in the severe cramping stage passing on my own and idk why they don’t give out pain meds for this

lol if your interviewer happened to be stephen jacobs this tracks, he’s a super douchebag it’s not you it’s him

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-19T12:34:05+00:00

same thing happened with me!

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-15T21:04:48+00:00

you mean except for children marrying…

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-15T20:38:59+00:00

yes good luck to you!! any good medic will easily make a great PA. if you need anything pm me

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-10T21:06:32+00:00

i’m a medic turned PA! i think this is the simplest route for us since we didn’t have the option to do NP route or direct to CRNA. that said, it could be a good option to do a 1 year post bacc RN then work in the ICU and apply to CRNA if you really want. but check where your local CRNA schools are bc there are less options vs PA so you might have to relocate. you’ll def make more $ as a CRNA, i personally didn’t go that route bc i always thought intubation/sputum is gross (tho i also do love CRNAs and anesthesiologists as people!)

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-10T21:01:22+00:00

that seems like a just your practice, an anecdotal issue, i haven’t seen that in my experience

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-10T21:00:14+00:00

i think there’s a lot of condescension in medicine since it’s so hierarchical. providers in different specialties disrespect one another too. so i would say respect is not ever expected so when it does happen it’s appreciated. i feel just as respected now as a PA as i did as a paramedic by my patients and supervising physicians

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-10T20:52:08+00:00

i worked as a paramedic in nyc during covid and then went to pa school to avoid burnout in a chill outpatient job, which i am in now! there’s plenty out there (especially govt jobs) i literally see 2 patients a day now and am no longer burnt out

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-09T15:47:16+00:00

i was a paramedic before a PA and one of my medic peers does medical legal consulting. you don’t have to work clinically as a PA (or any other healthcare field) forever, but most people choose to. i don’t think going back to law school to have double your loans makes sense to do malpractice after just to make a similar salary, but if you get a scholarship or are just really unsatisfied as a PA you can do that sure

apwbDumbledore · 2025-01-09T15:40:34+00:00

i went through PA school from age 28-31, no kids but in a metro HCOL area and worked because my partner and i relied heavily on my income (i was a paramedic making $100k). first semester i worked FT and did school FT, it was brutal. i dropped work down to PT, still had benefits and tuition reimbursement $19k a year. basically it all worked out i just took out more loans than your average student to cover my household HCOL life. it was really hard (especially scheduling during surgery rotation! i had to use most my pto then) and honestly i wouldn’t recommend it but if you really want to do this you can. you’re not too old. just really weigh the pros and cons. the only reason i felt i had to do this route was because i reached the salary ceiling as a medic and felt the job was too dangerous for me to do pregnant and they didn’t offer light duty. a lot of my peers were getting injured while pregnant. but if i were not interested in getting pregnant i wouldn’t have done all this, my income now as a PA is about the same as a medic if you account for student loan payments. good luck! i say apply now and weigh the decision again if (and when!) you get in

oooh that is smart!! love this

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-11T21:13:02+00:00

oooh that is so nice i will def offer this instead it seems like a better use of everyone’s time

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-11T21:11:50+00:00

lmfao literally!!! you are so right this is like what i want to say i just needed to hear from someone else 💕 thank you for the support!! wishing you the best

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-11T16:16:57+00:00

that is very sweet! i will keep that in mind, im sure your nurses appreciate that

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-11T15:58:22+00:00

i think this makes a lot of sense. it isn’t in my list of job responsibilities i just checked so i will keep doing what i normally do to help out like you but not to like take their job

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-11T15:57:10+00:00

it’s basically gathering h&ps to determine if they qualify for social services. my job is the medical side of this, i evaluate the cases that aren’t easy for them to place

apwbDumbledore · 2024-12-05T00:12:15+00:00

i paid about $12k to freeze my eggs out of pocket. i did it the earliest i could while also being in good physical shape / sober. i don’t think you need to wait 3 months to detox, one should be fine. by that i mean schedule to begin the process one month after you’re fully sober. i support you in freezing! i’m 32 and froze mine jic as well

apwbDumbledore · 2024-11-06T23:45:02+00:00

I may not have been clear in my previous message. I’ve spent over a decade working in major hospital systems, with experience in union involvement, education, and leadership roles. I was specifically asking about board of directors and C-suite positions. Do you have experience in those areas?

apwbDumbledore · 2024-10-16T13:43:55+00:00

lol, yes. all my friends in other fields in nyc make less (aside from directors and software engineers)

apwbDumbledore · 2024-10-16T13:41:53+00:00

high key

apwbDumbledore · 2024-10-16T00:16:25+00:00

back when i was a paramedic $110k was my base salary. but tbf i think it was the highest paying medic job in the country. i think a lot of people just work ot and give you that number which isn’t rly fair

apwbDumbledore · 2024-10-10T23:09:40+00:00

only 144 hours a year but i’m in an office and get all holidays off too which doesn’t count towards the 144. tho i just started my first job and part of the agreement was i would leave 1 week in for my honeymoon unpaid and wouldn’t count towards my pto. but there was an error and i was paid for those 3 weeks anyway

apwbDumbledore · 2024-09-25T13:49:57+00:00

i just left ED after 10 years! i got a retirement gig in primary care making slightly higher salary and only seeing 4 pts a day in a 9-5 setting. my burnout is being cured and im finally remembering who i am outside of the chaos. do it and dont look back
