mnpa14 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi! I am just looking for advice on what to expect for a salary. I am currently a physician assistant in a small rural community working both in clinic and in hospital. I am responsible for 1 in 5, 24 hour admitting call. I currently manage my own patients in the hospital. I have two years of experience in this position. I am definitely working significantly more hours than they stated, making my salary quite pathetic in the end. . I am currently applying for an Urgent Care position in MN Hours: 3-12s one week, then 2-12s, 2-7s the next week which includes the weekend shift. Hours are 8-8 except weekends. Weekends are 1:2. It is a fairly busy urgent care, where you would expect to see 30+ patients per 12 hr shift. They do not offer shift/holiday differential but give 10k bonus yearly to make up for this. 23 days PTO year 1, 28 days PTO year 2 Most healthcare paid, all malpractice paid 2% match 401K with extra percentage given yearly depending on what the board decides 5 days CME, $2500 I am wondering if anyone has estimates on what to expect for salary/hourly in a position similar to this?

mnpa14 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Received offer and salary is $48/hr. Is this sufficient for a job that is every other weekend? I also have experience doing DOTs, family medicine and am willing to fill in so that is another thing I have to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an urgent care where I was expected to see 30+ patients a day, I wouldn't accept anything less than $60/hr. They are making a killing off of you. Procedures as well?

mnpa14 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 No it is full time. 80 hrs per week. I believe it will be around 75 direct patient contact hours. I will be doing procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAtoB Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I recently turned down $45/hour going to $50/hour after 6 months, as a new grad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnpa14 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 After factoring in the 10k bonus it will be approximately $52.50 per hour. No other differentials though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator ventana Posted April 23, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2016 did a short stint in a regional UC clinic about 5 years ago At that time I was $75/hour and my replacement was at $85/hour I would politely decline anything under $60/hour for m-f work if it included nights and weekends that would go to $65/hour would demand $2500 CME, one week CME, full health for family, and 4 weeks vacation, with 10-12 holiday, and a week of personal - yup that figures to 8 weeks off a year BUT do the math on what you are generating in income and you realize they will still make a killing off you - a doc would cost them $225,000 min so don't give yourself away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moestown1016 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I did rounds at a nursing home ( set my own schedule showed up when I wanted to during week) and was paid $40/hr. That was basically to visit with these sweet old people and treat their constipation and utis. Once in a while sick patient that you sent to ER but still. I kind of think...if I can make $40 with like zero stress what would it take to feel stress? So I don't work for less than 65-70-ish. And that was five years ago.

RandomD Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 What would you guys say is a fair hourly rate for weekend PRN in urgent care? I'm looking to pick up some extra hours in the UC owned by the hospital that I have FT employment with. I have a bad feeling they are just going to offer me the same rate as my salaried position, which would be way low for UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yikes - undersold yourself there - NH coverage (if you stay productive) can be VERY lucrative. Also, with all the insurance changes no longer a nursing homes just LTC - now they mostly have a sub-acute unit, and those are really pretty much extensions of the hospital with sick sick people.....
