What Is Your White Coat?
SuperPA_NY replied to whoRyou's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
your pocket menu best depends on where you work and what you do. Why carry ophthalmoscope if you scrub for surgeries, or urology pocket guide for sports medicine -
I wen through the entire hiring process as a per-diem PA expected to work 3-6 days per week, with minimum of 3 cases per day (= at least 18 cases per week). At least that is what they promised me and expected from me. But all they provided me was 3 cases in the 4 month period. Very unpredictable and unreliable. They are blaming this situation on my "per-diem" status (vs. full-time employee), but once again they set different expectations and I am not the only unhappy employee.

I have recently began working as a newgrad GI PA. I have bought the Handbook of Gastroenterology by Yamada. I like the topics and the approach of this reference book, but I do not enjoy reading all this information in a paragraph form while on the floor with limited time. I have previously bought the Massachusetts Pocket Medicine, which manages to summarize and congest much more info with bullets and charts. I am planning to buy a comprehensive GI textbook for home reading, but can you please recommend any other pocket sized reference book that resembles the Massachusetts model? thank you

new grad Urgent Care offer
SuperPA_NY replied to SuperPA_NY's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
thank you. i will try negotiating. Should i insist on tail coverage and DEA? -
Hi everyone, would like to know your opinions about an offer i have received as a new grad from an urgent care facility: -part time -$35/hr -malpractice covered (except tail) -forgot to ask about DEA requirement (dont know if i need it there; not sure if is usually covered in a part time position?) I figured to work here until i can find a full time position with benefits. Not sure if I should try to negotiate the hourly wage and for paid tail coverage.

difference between Per-diem vs part time?
SuperPA_NY replied to SuperPA_NY's topic in Professional PA General Discussion
ok got it. my confusion arouse when some jobs are listed as "per-diem" but when you become aware of the scheduling details- the clinic actually provides the scheduled shifts a month ahead with steady 2-3 shifts/week -
thank you for your input. these are the same questions that I ask myself, and since this is my first job that I have not started yet, i do not know if i am capable of performing all of the duties and i am not sure what they may be to the detail.

I am a new graduate who is being offered a per-diem position to conduct complete physical exams on geriatric patients at their homes to confirm existing diagnoses and report any new. Compensation is $80 per assessment, not sure if malpractice insurance is provided, they expect you to provide your own transportation with some compensation. This being my first potential job, I am very nervous about any possible risks/pitfalls? As a new graduate am I being a fool to seek a job with almost no oversight? thx for any advice and comments :)
