What location? Is this common? Do you have PA's at your practice? I'm sure it's against policy, but people talk... do they make around the same?

Very high COL here, though from what I understand, it's pretty common for psych NPs to bring in ~150k+ in major cities throughout the US, though you usually need 1-2 years experience this was their post on first page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any thoughts on why that is? Lack of psychiatrists or is there much more to it that I'm not aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read/heard a PA cannot bill for certain things in psych unless they have a CAQ whereas a NP can = more money. I think the nation in general has a paucity of psychiatrists so that factor will always be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved my program and rotations, hated everything else about philly, the city of brotherly shove. I left the state for good immediately from graduation(as in, my car was packed in the driveway and I headed north immediately following the ceremony).

delco714 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Just found out that the company for our practice decided on PA bonuses. Up to 60k a year based on (1/5 of it) pt satisfaction, and the other RVU. They looked back over 2 years, and they tell us we should be able to obtain 100-110% of that whole bonus. They also decided on double pay if we want to work an extra weekend. No thanks, but thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful thinking it is a lifetime pension. While that is what it is advertised to be, looking at what happened when other governments (even superpowers like USSR) failed this may not be the case. When the USSR collapsed most national pensions (military) were "reset" and then paid for the newly formed regional governments (Ukraine). I'm not sure what happened to those 10-20 years later as the regional governments were re-connected back into a Russian national government. Would be interesting to know.... 18 hours ago, ianwhitew said: I want to ask people who make >$151,000. US. How the hell do you make? Work 40 hrs a week for more than $75/hr.

ohiovolffemtp Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Experienced EM in the right location: $85/hour at my FT job, $75/hour at my PRN job, both W2. Locums companies calling offering $90/hour also W2. Work enough hours you'll easily surpass $150K/yr.

Yup and you could be struck by a metorite, or get some rare 1:1,000,000 disease, or worse yet you could get sick or hit by a car...... just seems like any of these are more possible then a total collapse of the US Gov't. 14 hours ago, Boatswain2PA said: Work 40 hrs a week for more than $75/hr.

I disagree - NP's combined with a world wide pandemic with restrictive practice patterns (supervision) along with to many years of AAPA and NCCPA not leading from the front got us here. Jobs are loosening up, and I just took one that is really good, with excellent benefits and compensation. They are there. 14 hours ago, Boatswain2PA said: 5 more years.

I don't have a breakdown what that comes out to hourly as my hours/week vary, but I'm not working tremendous hours and don't have call.
