ProspectivePA Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hello. New grad here. The following is my offer. Expanding surgical ICU at a 1,000+ bed tertiary teaching hospital located in the Midwest. PAs and NPs are heavily utilized here and I felt a great sense of respect and camaraderie during the tour and the interview with the NP/PA manager and 2 attending docs. The position is 12-hr shifts (3 shifts/week for 4 of every 6 weeks and the other 2 of that 6 weeks is 4 shifts/week of work, which averages to 40 hrs/week) -Pay: $95,000/year -Sign on bonus: $8,000 (Half paid after 3 months of work, 2nd half paid after 1 year) -Relocation assistance: $3,000 -Benefits: 30 days PTO per year, medical/dental/vision, 3% 401K match, malpractice insurance -Training/orientation for the first 4-6 months which ends based on mutual comfort level -CME ONLY $500/year (they say this is non-negotiable and set for all equivalent employees) I would appreciate any and all input. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACJD Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not a bad offer. Is there OT/holiday pay? Is there mandatory call? Also are you working nights or days? One of my friends works ICU nights, gets a pretty hefty differential, and is able to learn a lot and get maximum experience right out of school.

ProspectivePA Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 It's only days (7AM to 7PM), work every 6 weekends. Don't have to work holidays. No mandatory calls. I believe there's no overtime pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PACJD Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Its still a pretty solid offer. CME is low but I say go for it. What state is this in if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlottew Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Looks like a good offer to me for a new grad. Not having to work nights is easier on the consitution. Also one in 6 weekends is quite reasonable. CME is low, but that does not look like a deal-breaker to me. You will learn a ton, congrats on the offer.

mic87 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sounds like a pretty good offer. Do you get overtime if you are needed for an extra shift here and there? Also find out if they provide some free CMEs with grand rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
