PennPA4 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Where is it? Philly? For new grad a bit low, I would counter with 80k for training and 85k when start and 90k after 6 mo. Make sure DEA and other lisence expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted September 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2015 just FYI- 40 in 12 hrs is not sustainable. have done it and if more than a few shifts in a row like that you get major burnout, develop a poor attitude, etc...at least I do...

bigdawg1986 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I did new grad urgent care started at 100k with medical, dental, and vision... But small company so less benefits. I would see on the slowest day 30 and my average right before I left was 50-60 in a 12 hour period. So that schedule sounds relatively chill. Urgent care is a great foundation builder for a new grad.

cinntsp Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 - Contract is for 2 years or 10,000$ penalty Is something like this even enforceable? Sign-on bonuses can be tied to a contract where it must be repaid at a prorated amount if the person doesn't fulfill the full contract length, but I can't see something like this holding up in court.

ohiovolffemtp Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Don't know your area, but compensation seems low. Urgent cares in SW Ohio are paying $50-55/hour. I get $55 as a 1099, seeing 2-3/hour in 13 hour shifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also wondering this, haven't heard of it before. I will need to discuss this further with them. Where is it? Philly?

People talk of saturation, but I have seen some decent offers from 90-110k full bennies for new grads. Any thoughts of the training period? Is this normal for new grads in urgent care?

treejay Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 bad offer. 40 patients in 12 hours for a new grad is unrealisitically dangerous in my opinion. 4 12 hour shifts in a week sounds like too much, ESPECIALLY for that low pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( 4 tens/week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
