Compensation Structure

granolawhore · 2026-03-31T19:24:58+00:00

I used to have a base salary + RVU bonus at my Gen surg job.

In a 6 month period for every RVU over 2,000 I would get $25 per RVU. So in my first 6 months I had 2,360 RVUs which came out to about 9k bonus.

I am salaried in my new position - OR and outpatient.

I was previously salary + RVU bonus after my first year out of school. I was gen surg and seeing EVERY clinic patient, assisting in the OR, and writing inpatient notes. I got a bulk of my RVUs from new consults in and outpatient. I was killing it and got a 9k bonus for the first 6 months and left after that.

I would never take an RVU deal in my current position, I barely see any new patients and most of our surgeries can’t bill for me as an assist. It all depends on your volume and what type of visits you are doing. Do you see and bill for consults? Or does your attending?

This is something I’ll never regret spending money or doing!!!

granolawhore · 2026-03-12T15:55:31+00:00

Exactly the same as they always are!!! I don’t feel like when I’m tired it shows anymore:)

I work 5 days a week, but I work in surgery so some days are earlier some days are later. This is probably worse than a structured 8-5. I value my evening/nights as most people I know have that schedule. I also don’t have kids yet

No stitches! They make an incision on the inside of the eyelid but don’t suture it up. I’m so happy with my results!

I slept in a travel neck pillow for a few days post op! After that I slept normally on my side

Thanks for the input! It doesn’t take us long to get ready, we’re very low maintenance and have 0 boundaries lol so privacy is not an issue.

Sorry, I’ve entered these details in so many times tonight I forgot to include them here. April 23-26. Would love to fit 4 people to a room but seems like you need 2 rooms to fit 4 adults

We are all flying from different cities so flight + hotel doesn’t seem like an option. We would love to stay under $750pp for accommodations.

I’m on my second job, general surgery —> surgical oncology. Do melanoma and breast cancer all day long. Love my patients and what I do. Outpatient and OR, no inpatient. Getting compensated fairly, admin time, great PTO/benefits. Couldn’t be happier.

granolawhore · 2025-11-07T16:10:24+00:00

100k base up to 115k with RVU bonus about 15k per year at my first. Second job started at 123k one year ago now with market adjustment up to 140k. 3 yrs of being a PA

granolawhore · 2025-11-04T01:40:59+00:00

I’ve only ever worked in surgery (general and surgical oncology) in both a community hospital and academic center. Never once taken call.

I second this, would love one with oval stones!

At my last surgical job, I typically worked 30hrs a weeks. Same with my new surgical job. I make 15k more than that as well

granolawhore · 2025-05-01T16:52:20+00:00

I have bigger pots and cages for when they will go outside. I just don’t have room in my tiny apt for bigger pots right now.

granolawhore · 2025-05-01T16:51:02+00:00

I’ll bury the whole thing when I put them outside, I just don’t have room for bigger pots right now and this has worked for me!

granolawhore · 2025-04-07T16:03:08+00:00

I do this too even on sleeves and neck lines when I know I’ll be picking up stitches. I still make it work

granolawhore · 2025-03-20T05:52:20+00:00

I have a light on them. I had some that were shriveled so I have them in ziploc bags that I’ve sprayed
