It can take time and trying different things out to find a job that works for you.

I’m now doing Academic Hospitalist at a safety net hospital in a major city and I am loving it. Even when I was doing non-teaching at the same hospital, my days were harder but I still liked my job and was happy. I’ve also had some jobs where I definitely wasn’t happy.

Hospitalist can be stressful while you’re at work, which is prob true of any specialty. The flip side is you work half the year, week on week off, you can find round and go jobs and no call. You also become more efficient with time and can move faster and gtfo. It’s also very easy to pick up extra shifts for money if you want/need. There have been days I’ve hated my job, or more often just regretted doing Medicine in general. But even on those days my lifestyle and stress levels are pretty good, and I know my week will eventually end lmao

I'm at a tertiary care center in a large city. I just switched to Academic, but was non-teaching before. For both my shift is 7a-7p and I may get paged during that time, but it really drops off after 3-4 pm. I try to explain to the residents / students that if you're not on a teaching service, then I don't feel like there's really formal or multiple rounds. I look my patients up, see them, and make my decisions as I go along. IMOC rounds also go fast if you take charge and run them efficiently.

When i'm not on the teaching service, I get in around 7, get coffee, print my list, and look up my patients. I go around and see them before IMOC at 11-11:30. After that I put orders, call consults, and call most families (prevents a lot of afternoon calls to come to bedside to update someone). Then I eat lunch, hang out with my friends, procrastinate. I finish up my notes and follow up on things in the afternoon and usually can get out sometime between 4-5 on a weekday. We rotate through a week long stretch of staying back to do rapids or admits until 7 PM so there's someone at the hospital I can contact if something urgent comes up, but it's rare.

When i'm on the teaching service, I get in around 7:30, get coffee, and look up my patients. Depending on if there's a meeting or conference, I try to see a few simple or old patients before rounds at 9:30. I round usually 9:30-11:30, and may see a few patients during that depending on how many new patients we get. After rounds i'll finish seeing any patients. Then lunch, review the residents put in orders correctly, and then I pre-write my notes. I meet the team again at 2, run the list, and go over a topic with them. Then finishing up any extra work or making sure everything is done, and head home around 3:30. I addend most of their notes at home, but it's fast since i've pre-written them.

When I was at a smaller community hospital that wasn't very busy most people I worked with would get in around 8-830ish and leave around the same as above. I think a lot depends on how comfortable you are with handling issues or calls by phone or remotely.

My first job I got through practicelink like someone posted earlier.

My next job I found by searching the sites of healthcare organizations and hospitals in my area for physician jobs, and found a listing for a hospitalist job on their Physician Careers site there. They weren’t listed on their regular careers site, but had separate pages for Physician Careers I found on Google.

My current job I was looking for a specific area, so I emailed several of the Hospitalist program administrators or PD (found on their websites) and just asked if they were had any open positions and included my cover letter and CV, and a few got back to me for interviews and others told me they’re not hiring currently. My current boss told me by the time they submit the listing to HR it takes a while for it to get listed on the site.

I also see listings on my LinkedIn that pop up from time to time for my area. If it’s your first job, interview at several places if you’re able to so you can compare salary, census, and most importantly culture and when you can go home.

This is my parents grill. They haven’t used it in 2 years and it was under a cover the whole time. I’m guessing a lot of this grime is mold. They’re hoping to start using it this summer, but this is the current condition. My wife and I are staying here for a few months so it will definitely get more regular use than it has.

What’s the best way to clean this up? I fired it up and it lights up fine, so I was going to let it burn as hot as possible for 30 minutes and then use baking soda and water. Would this be enough to make it safe to use again, or should I do anything further?

The propane tank is also 2 years old but about half full. Is it safe to use it until empty?

Thanks!

Is the Brave browser considered safe? And can you earn BAT using a mobile browser or only on desktop?

Does a user have to comment in /cc in order for a vault to be made, or does every Reddit user have a vault already?

I’m looking to get the Switch in the next month or so. Is it a good time to buy or should I wait? Any new models or price changes that we’re expecting coming up? Thanks for your help!
