Marinejiujitsu Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 That's pretty standard in EM. Make sure it is a good teaching environment or your will be eaten alive.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_PA Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 $60/hr for night shifts is low. Even as a new grad. You should be getting some sort of night shift differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyJ Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Ehh, I think that is a pretty good offer. $60 for new grad is good. Nightshift may need to be considered. What is the census like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Really depends on location. California? then yes, lowish. West Virginia? Your doing good my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ERCat Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Seems like an average offer for ER. It's hard to get into ER as a new grad so I would take it. But how much doc support will you be getting overnight? That's the most important question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karebear12892 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 What state? Urban, suburban, rural? What are the folks on day shift making? I agree $60/hr for night shift seems low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJMO Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I'd say it all depends on the supervising physician support/training you will receive. If the docs are more then willing to show you the ropes and teach you, then by all means take the job. I did an EM residency my first year out and I took a very large pay cut, but the experience I obtained and excellent support I received from my supervising physicians was absolutely worth it. Now going into my second year I feel comfortable and confident in my ability to handle whatever walks in through the door, and I am well versed in 95% of the procedural skills needed in the ER, Including bedside US.

Will352ns Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Like others...location dependent but not bad anywhere. Looks like an EmCare contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
