Advice for PA returning to practice after 5 years
ventana replied to Kaydee20's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
oh my oh me unsure what your perception of Primary care is, or comes from, but nope it is not slow-paced...... -
Really? Seems like the obvious answer, COVID has thrown a monkey wrench in EVERYTHING lots of friends are out of work, with no end in sight (non-medical) Heck at least we are still chugging along unlike some industries - ie restaurant, vacation, motel, lodging....

COVID exposure. What would you do?
ventana replied to sas5814's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
Disagree totally. It is state by state decision as no federal guidance, but as a citizen following the rules in my state this meet up should have not occurred. As a critical HCW it was ill advised. I am starting to see some alarming examples of HCW just giving up. Doing what ever they want. Going on ski trips, bars, and socializing. I think we have extracted about as much self suffering from them as we can. System better hurry up and get vaccines out there or this contagion bubble is gonna get bigger and bigger. (I am more and more protecting my family, we mask 100% when out and no play dates or anything like that (nine since feb!)) the S*^# getting deep. -
Non-exempt employee as PAs
ventana replied to kang1208's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
Exempt status is for “professionals” and they never kept the wage threshold up it. PA can be exempt or non-exempt. Depends on contract. Non-exempt is FAR better and honestly the union jobs are some of the best paying. thing that pisses me off for Exempt PA’s is this. If you work in more the employer gets more(they make money off your extra efforts). You get nothing. Nada. In an outpatient setting with set clinic hours might not be bad, but if employer is open >40 hrs a week they are gonna screw you. For this reason I will never work in a non outpatient setting as exempt employee. -
Ok so they “said they want you”. “Through a recruiter” no you do not have a job. You can politely ask them fir a contract so that you can stop your job search. Do not feel bad about this. Be polite and professional. But until you have a contract and ALL things negotiated, and work first day, you do nit have a job. their used to be a little honor in the staffing world. COVID took even that little bit away. protect yourself. Have atty review all contracts.
