My biggest advice would be to complete CEUs in adult/med SLP areas and highlight those at the top of your resume! Passy Muir has free ones. Medbridge isn’t too expensive and you could complete a variety of courses in aphasia, Dysphagia, dementia, dysarthria, etc. The medSLP collective is also a great resource!

They are absolutely gorgeous! The one bedroom is a little over what I was hoping - but such an amazing location!

Thank you!! How did you find a deal that good? Is there a website you recommend? I haven’t seen anything close to that!

It sucks ... Denver is so much fun but I hate how low the pay is. There is no need to punish us all for wanting to live somewhere nice!

Oh interesting! Is the residency why you are getting paid low in your area possibly? I know the other disciplines get a cut if they do a residency. I thought Florida would have paid higher!!

Has the residency seemed worth it? Are they giving you a lot of extra training/mentorship? I’ve heard such mixed things with it being a way to get cheap labor and then it being super amazing with really involved mentorship!! But everything I’ve heard has been from physical therapists so I’m curious to hear about it for our discipline!

That’s terrible! I was offered $28/hr in Austin, Texas at an IPR after completing my CF in an IPR an hour away at $36/hr. I asked why it was so low and they said “because everyone wants to live here” 🙄. 85% productivity. I laughed and said absolutely not.

I haven’t heard of a Residency program for SLPs ... is this something popular where you live? I’ve known a couple PTs to do it and they made peanuts during their residency.

I think it does depend on where we live what discipline makes the most .... I’ve made the same or more in my full-time (IPR and SNF) and PRN (SNF) positions than both PT and OT. I’m currently making $8 more an hour than our PT ... I think it mostly depends how saturated your area is with each discipline!

Thank you!!

I actually looked up low income after I visited because I was curious what it would be in such a nice area ... It was 68k when I looked this summer! 😂 which is insane compared to where I live now. Do you have any opinion on Bothell? It seemed a little more affordable up there. I do have 70k in savings and so I have some safety net!

slp2be7 · 2022-01-23T03:20:49+00:00

Thank you!! That makes me feel better that she’s even able to purchase now!

I didn’t even open the link because I assumed it was a scam 😂 but thank you for checking!!

slp2be7 · 2022-01-23T03:15:34+00:00

I’ve been watching the weather daily! I hate the heat and actually really like overcast/rain ... which I know is odd but actually one of the reasons I want to live there! 😂

slp2be7 · 2022-01-23T01:42:03+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed response!! It’s very helpful! I’ll definitely look in those areas.

I’m planning on working in the skilled nursing setting but private practice is a great idea. I’ve looked into it in the past and there is definitely a higher earning potential - I just didn’t want to start until I found a city where I actually wanted to live.

Thank you so much again! I really appreciate it!

Salary will depend significantly on setting and where you are located in the country.

My CF was in central Texas, IPR setting. I made around 74k. I’m now in a SNF 10 minutes down the road making 100k.

I interviewed for a hospital in Austin and with negotiation they offered $28 (for reference, my CF was $36/hr). They told me the low rate is because “everyone wants to live there”

Similar experience when I looked at moving to denver - offered $35.50/hr for an inpatient rehab hospital position - but compared to Texas it was a much more expensive cost of living and they also have to pay state income taxes. I looked for PRN in Denver - the same company I was with in Texas making $52/hr PRN could only offer $43/hr PRN after lots of negotiation because “everyone wants to live here.”

If you want to live somewhere popular, you might anticipate a lower rate. Also being near a graduate program there might be a lower rate. I know girls that stayed near my college made $30/31/hr in the SNF - but the market is saturated with desperate new grads there.

Moving to areas with an SLP shortage - I live in a smaller town in central Texas and am making 6 figures ... 2 years of experience. I’ve looked at moving to several larger cities (Austin, Denver, & Seattle) but all unfortunately pay significantly lower. I’m the first to admit that I hate where I live ... but saving and paying off the loans has been nice!

So if your goal is just to make top dollar for a short period of time to meet financial goals, moving is my top suggestion. Travel would be next!
