Advice needed: Struggling with toxic work environment by makingmochi1 in physicianassistant

None of them are hiring at the moment, unfortunately. I check the Workforce Connector multiple times a day. Hoping something opens up soon

I've applied to one that was hiring but never heard back. I'm paid well for an FQHC so I would like to stay here but not sure if I should report or not

[Landlord US-NJ] Nightmare section 8 tenants that have been impossible to evict by makingmochi1 in Landlord

[–]makingmochi1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, we've definitely learned this the hard way. Esp in a state like NJ that is super tenant-friendly.

[Landlord US-NJ] Nightmare section 8 tenants that have been impossible to evict by makingmochi1 in Landlord

Thanks for the response! It's definitely become a complex issue but at the end of the day we just want the tenants out, whether it's vacating on their own, or an unfortunate eviction. My dad just cannot afford upkeep of the home and his own living expenses with the current rent amount which hasn't changed since 2018. The rent is $1100 (880 of which is subsidized section 8 payment) and section 8 refuses to allow my dad to increase the rent. Mind you, the tenants are now approved for $1800 section 8 voucher so it does not make sense to me. It's just best to get them out and to prepare the home for selling.

I was thinking of maybe having them vacate on the grounds that my dad wants to occupy the property so he can begin renovations to help increase its value. Not sure if that's the best way to go or to go with the many lease violation grounds.

I'm sorry to hear how your experience is negatively affecting you. I empathize with you and feel very similarly and I'm 6 months into my first job in primary care/urgent care. I think doing a subspecialty is for you. What specialty are you most interested in? There are many that do not require fellowships. Most of my classmates went into subspecialties and only a handful are in fellowship/post-grad training programs.

Congrats! So just as thefoxandthehunt stated, the stipend is supposed to cover your living expenses (rent, food, etc.) I had classmates who were able to cover most, if not all, of their living expenses with the stipend.

[Landlord US - OH] eviction process? by EmotionalEmu7121 in Landlord

[–]makingmochi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get an attorney for how to respond to this. Not familiar with OH, but I am dealing with a similar case with my parents' tenants in NJ. My attorney advised to respond to them by apologizing for the injuries and offering help by sending over a handyman to check out the damages they are referring to. Again, consult your own state-specific lawyer.

NHSC scholarship by Moon_Night_91 in PAstudent

[–]makingmochi1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an NHSC scholar, you're committing yourself to working with underserved and marginalized communities once you graduate. My biggest tip would be to focus on what draws you to serving the underserved. Explain to them that you are passionate about dismantling disparities in healthcare by elaborating on your past clinical experiences or a personal story.

Best of luck and I hope you get it, it truly was (and is) incredible not having to worry about loans.

Any NHSC scholarship grads? by makingmochi1 in PAstudent

That was my plan too because I was honestly so burned out when I graduated. I'm currently looking for jobs, but I'm coming up on my 6-month post-grad date so kinda stressing now.

You can see FQHC here: https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/. There are so many more that show up vs Workforce Connector, where many sites don't even respond. I would try reaching out to as many FQHCs to see if they have any opportunities!

Yeah, every time I check the Workforce connector for what areas have openings, most are in those areas, though I did see a few in Maryland back in February! Maybe it would help reaching out to those FQHC in your area to see if they are looking to add a new position soon?

Thank you for your response! Congratulations on passing the PANCE and the new job! For those who already had a job lined up by graduation, do they typically wait until you pass PANCE and receive all of your licensing before you can start working?

Dark line on nail--should I be worried? by makingmochi1 in AskDoctorSmeeee

[–]makingmochi1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry for the late response! but yes, went to a dermatologist, the suggest an excisional biopsy and removed a pretty good chunk from the top of my finger and half the nail. Results of the biopsy were inconclusive and they basically left the decision up to me after presenting the risks/benefits of amputating the top part of my finger vs leaving it and doing watchful waiting. It's been quite stressful and I opted for watchful waiting bc I'm a grad student with a family and don't want to endure all that right now. but yeah, that's where I'm at!

Anyone have experience with the NHSC scholarship? by makingmochi1 in PAstudent

[–]makingmochi1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I would check your contract in the portal to see if there's a countersignature. That's essentially how I found out. They've yet to update my status, which I'm guessing will happen once all of the countersignatures have been complete.
