Nycpac33 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Hey everyone Urgent care PA here with 1 yr of experience, got offered a position at a new UC and wanted to know your thoughts. Full time position in NYC. 12-14hr shifts and about 100 pts a day split between a PA And a SP. 3-4 shifts a week Hourly rate-65/hr 96 hrs PTO first year $1000/annually for CME and 3 days PTO for CME Malpractice covered- occurance based policy 100% employer contribution towards monthly insurance premium for medical, vision and dental 401k 3% match I have another offer at a different urgent care offering $70 an hour. Benefits also similar to the above. However I would be working solo and personally do not feel fully comfortable with that. Also Personally liked the vibe of the lower paying UC as well and it is closer to my home Would it be fair game to negotiate for $70 an hour instead of $65 or does it feel like a solid offer to you guys? I know its like nickles and dimes but its just a thought before I sign the contract and things become permanent. Dont want any what iffs in my head. I thank you all in advance for reading this and for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheshark89 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 CME is low, PTO is low, you can try to increase salary though 65 isnt bad. The rest seems decent however IMO its borderline unsafe to routinely be seeing 50 patients per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurepa588 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I wouldn't take the first offer because 50 patients a day is way too much. If you have a 12 hour shift, that's more than 4 pts per hour. PTO, CME is not great either. Not worth it. If you don't feel comfortable working by yourself, then don't take the second offer. I would say keep looking. Don't sell yourself short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nycpac33 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 Sigh yes i know the patient load is insane but im used to it. This is how it gets during the winter in the urgent care.. calms down a lot the rest of the year. What would be the best way to word my counter for a higher rate? I get so shy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
