DillonT856 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hello Everyone, I just received an Urgent Care offer in Texas. Any thoughts/input are appreciated :) Open 365 days a year Full Time = 36-40 hrs per week Training period- 3 months with direct supervision Shifts are 8 hrs long Compensation : $40/hr - I asked if this would go up after the training period, however was told that it would be dependent upon the 'SP's professional opinion". I don't know if this is normal? CME: $500/yr, nothing mentioned about time off PTO: 1 week for 0-12 months of experience, 10 days PTO for 2 years of clinical experience Pts per hour: 3-5 on busy day Holidays: pay time and a half Benefits: -health insurance -life insurance -disability insurance- optional Malpractice is covered by them, unsure about tail coverage. No student loan assistance. They recently opened up a 2nd location and I would be a new provider training at the old location until an established patient base knows about the 2nd location. My permanent base would be determined later on after knowing more from the 2nd location Both UC locations are about 30 mins away from my home, but in opposite directions.

megscc Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 What location is this? This seems really low for UC. I am in DFW and was getting anywhere from $60-75 an hour offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DillonT856 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 It's in north central texas. I know cost of living is less here than DFW but still.... not by that much. I thought $40/hr sounded low/off, even for a new grad. Are you currently doing UC in DFW? Or was this from previous interviewing experience? Much appreciated for your thoughts!

marktheshark89 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Honestly its a pretty terrible offer. Very low pay. Practically no CME, no CME time off, practically no vacation time. Nothing mentioned about retirement plan. I probably wouldn't even counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACJD Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Lol this offer is horrible. Not just for Texas, but for anywhere. 40/hr would put you at about $76k a yr. CME $500 and I wk PTO??? Lol. Sorry, but I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stacydavid Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I am in Oklahoma & this is the lowest offer I have ever heard. I would not even consider it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_PA Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I don't care what state you're from. $40/hr is a joke and should be treated like one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
