Health insurance, dental, vision premiums covered 100% 401K 3% matching license, DEA, malpractice, tail covered. No CME $ or time. No PTO or sick time. Personal: Would be an 80mile/1.5 hour commute. 1 mountain pass. Group provides an apartment at which to stay and groups your shifts into 2s, 3s and 4s. Anyone done a commute like this?

I have 3 rural per diem jobs; 3 hrs away, 2 hrs away, 90 min away. this money looks ok ( i assume days are double coverage), but if this is your primary job you should get cme, vacation, etc. Each of my per diem jobs would give me full bennies if I was there full time as I may be in the next few months to years. what is your prior experience? are you ready to do solo coverage? Can you manage an emergent airway, a crashing child, anaphylaxis, run a code, etc ? 5 min backup may actually be more like 10-15 to never if the guy is in the shower or out of cell range, etc Most of these positions are best suited to former paramedics or em residency grads with extensive experience.

Thanks for the reply--I figured that there should be some cme and vaca as a primary position! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananapeppers Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I work in a rural area and get paid $75/hr for fast track. I see between 20-40 pts in a 10-11 hour shift. They also cover for hotel and mileage reimbursement (54 cents/mile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
