FSUnoles Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 good offer but the 3 years is a bit rough especially as new grad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralER/Ortho Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I wouldn't want to just do pre and post op appointments only right out of school. There's not a lot of thinking involved in that and I feel it would likely get boring. Other than the 3 year commitment, the offer is solid.

AbeTheBabe Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'd try to reduce the 3 years to 1 or even 18 months and try to get some guaranteed OR time to give you a break from the monotony of pre/post ops. I started working in ortho a year ago after I graduated and see a lot of post-ops, but I also see a lot of follow ups and some new patients as well and have 1.5 days of OR time.

jbm14 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm a second year PA student at OU (graduation is Dec 1 this year) and seriously considering ortho... Think they're probably not hiring that far out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they're probably not hiring that far out? Not likely. 3-6 months out would be a good time to start applying, not 11 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger777 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I wouldn't want to just do pre and post op appointments only right out of school. There's not a lot of thinking involved in that and I feel it would likely get boring. Other than the 3 year commitment, the offer is solid. I did this for a half rotation. 2.5 weeks was enough. This office was staffed entirely by NPs. It made me realize that if I ever just wanted a relatively unchallenging 9-5 job to collect a pay check they are out there. Not saying the OPs experience would be the same but that was mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted January 22, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2017 agree with above. all outpt stuff might get boring and the 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshpa Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 To the OP, I got the exact same offer like you.I talked to the HR about the 3yr contract, they told me that it was more so they don't have to do a paperwork every year. But it is an at will employment and you have to give them a 60-day notice to quit and I think a 10miles non-compete. Check with your HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
