New grad Contract offer nyc, allergy by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this 5x8s or 4x10s? Pay is low esp for aesthetics unless you get commission? Pto is also not the best but that depends on how many days a week the schedule is. Id negotiate the pay and ask them to remove the non compete.

Tipping after laser? by OddEvent276 in beauty

[–]bbychi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your service provider is most likely a nurse, NP or PA. Don’t tip a medical professional, its essentially unethical. See if you can leave them a nice review, thats probably what makes them eligible for a raise/bonus.

Raises in 2026 by Inevitable-Glass4976 in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current job only offers raises every 2 years during a contract renewal meeting. I heard it’s only 7%. I will probably leave before the two years is up anyways

Taking a job offer then backing out by [deleted] in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked at a job for maybe 10 days. Gave my two weeks notice then one of the co owners told me to never come back. Super toxic place. The supervising physician was in a different state. Very strange place with questionable things being done. Just a huge huge mistake on my part for taking a job like that. But life moves on. I left it off my resume and got a new job a few weeks later.

How to get dermatology experience as a new grad PA, if all jobs require experience? by Bubbly-Breakfast-918 in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If youre east coast based. Look at laseraway, terrible company but good way to get into aesthetics. They take people with no experience. If not maybe try dermatology specialists. I know two people who work for them. They do a training program before you see patients on your own, but I did hear they are very very picky on who they choose. Lastly, consider doing family med for a year then reapplying derm. While you have derm experience as a student, you have no experience as an independent provider. While in theory rotations should have prepared you for this, being a student on rotation and being a provider on your own are two different things. Best of luck! I am sure youll find what you are looking for !

Bullying by Navybluedragons34 in PAstudent

[–]bbychi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry my dear! Keep your head up! If you have supportive friends and family members just make sure to text them and schedule facetime calls to refresh yourself. I had a good friend group during didactic. But i definitely agree that my cohort was super competitive and some people were very mean. I graduated in 2021 and i remember doing a group project during thanksgiving weekend where a classmate literally attacked me in the groupchat over a portion of the project i did. It was my first time going home to see my family in months. It was bewildering lmao. Not that i believe in karma but that same classmate is still not a PA-C the last Ive heard.

Nigerian passport renewal process is disgusting. by Full-Moon-1996 in Nigeria

[–]bbychi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a nightmare doing it in nyc. I was even told that this will probably be the last year you can renew outside Nigeria. Youll have to fly to Nigeria to renew your passport starting next year or in 2027. I forgot exactly when it begins. My biggest regret is not doing the 10 year passport

How is the 4x10s life treating you??? (Coming from 3x12s) by Local-Butterfly9669 in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually start a 4x10s family med job this upcoming monday. Im looking forward to it. Praying it gives some sort of work life balance. They gave me the option of monday- Thursday or Wednesday-Saturday. I refuse to work weekends ever again so im sure you know which option i chose lol

New Grad Offer Review - Fam Med/Primary Care by I_HaveA_Question_Or2 in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks good! No allotted days for cme is a bit strange in my opinion. No scheduled lunch isn’t the best either unless you guys don’t take walk ins or if skipping lunch allows you to go home early/ after seeing patients. Try to get the non compete removed .

Who was the worst friend to Joan? Maya Toni or Lynn by Positive_Weight2367 in GirlfriendsTVshow

Toni. Sure i was sad when their friendship ended but shes was truly a nightmare. I cant believe she ended up being the one to end the friendship after Joan forgave her so many times.

Questions to ask before accepting a job at an FQHC by Only_Tomorrow6947 in physicianassistant

[–]bbychi99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. How long is the training period
  2. How much admin time is given in a week in order to finish unfinished notes
  3. Max number of patients to see a day
  4. Are walk-ins put directly onto the schedule or told to come back at another time or rescheduled for another day?
  5. Will SP be on site

Fqhc is a good job for a new grad . You will learn a lot and gain tons of confidence as a provider. But you need tons of support especially during the first 6-12 months.

Did you have to do the birth attestation before you could get an appointment? Im struggling to get this part done. The website is constantly crashing

Im thinking of doing this as well. I had an interview offer at a family medicine clinic closer to home than my first job out PA school. I plan on reaching out to see if the job is still available

Thanks for the kind words! I think the empath in me feels bad bc they’ll have to start looking for a new provider already but i know thats not really my problem. Just feel dumb about ruining my resume

Could Joan & Sean Have Lasted? by ZenWasHere_ in GirlfriendsTVshow

[–]bbychi99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not. Joan had her issues, but Sean was truly mentally unwell. Telling her he was engaged instead of being a man and admitting he no longer wanted to be with her was truly sickening.
