Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2013 So cal. Riverside. Looking at roseburg. What are some pros & cons?? previously worked in riverside before moving to oregon....the traffic is better in oregon, the weather is a wash because of the rain. you will likely make less money in oregon than in socal but the cost of living is also less. riverside vs oregon, oregon probably wins... bay area or central coast ca vs oregon...I would go for the cali option there...

Hemegroup Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 inland empire here as well, msmedic. i had been considering OR as well except in reading the PA constitution of practice it looked less than desirable. i forgot the specifics, look into it.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2013 oregon on paper is a great state to practice in...in reality, not so much. the medical board is hostile to us and oregon is an np dominated state. WA on the other hand is a much better state for PA practice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2013 HIforgive me for my curiosity but may I ask why do you want to leave riverside? apparently you have never been there...hot/dry/flat surrounded by freeways and rednecks. I had a great first job there but after 2 years and driving 126 miles/day it was time to leave.... in answer to the second part of your question, 80k/yr there should not be a problem. I made that over 15 years ago when I left. money isn'teverything. it's still riverside. I took an 8 dollar/hr salary hit when I left. it was worth it.
