Can't seem to find any ERs in NYC that don't want YEARS of experience...

So I want to break in to Emergency Medicine. I have years of EMT experience, but I am a new PA grad, though, and it seems practically every ER in NYC demands experience, usually 3-5 years. How does one get that experience precisely?

I, unfortunately, experienced the same problem where I lived. I had to find a job in a different state to build up my experience before I moved back home.

Same problem in NJ, although usually just 1 yr needed, but has to be a PA ER yr

Check with Queens Hospital Center. They used to routinely hire new grads, at least Stony Brook grads (not sure about other programs). Or look up in Connecticut, Westchester or LI.

There are a few hospitals in Queens and Brooklyn that are hiring per diem ER PAs. Try getting a part time position while working a full time position to get some experience.

It does seems like NYC will be over-saturated with new grad PA, making it harder to find work in ANY speciality within the next few years...

HELLO

I went to Stony Brook and a lot of Stony Brook students rotate through Queens Hospital (EM, OB-GYN, Surgery, etc) which is why they tend hire stony brook students.

It is tough as a new grad trying to get into ED position in NYC area.

 

However as a prior BI employee, a few exceptionals can get a job as a new grad in main ED and see critically ill patients, but be aware IT WILL BE ROUGH for the first year. You will be under constant stress and pressure, although you won't regret the valuable experience later on as a starting EM-PA.

So here it goes:

 

Beth Israel Medical Center (Kings Highway Division) in Brooklyn, NY is hiring a full-time EM-PA for Main ED position (NOT FAST TRACK). It is a busy community hospital. Motivated new grad, we are willing to train but prefer at least 1 year experience as EM-PA.

 

 

If interested, please send me a message.
