Dabba Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Just looking for some thoughts. Contracted to work a minimum of 1,820 hours annually (3.5 shifts per week, on average)Hourly Rate - $65/hour first year, increasing to $70/hour after one year of service4 weeks of PTO annually that you can cash out if you don't use40 hours of long-term sick time annually6 paid holidays annually. 2.5x your rate when you work a holiday$1500 annual professional allowance for continuing education, licensing, etc. The only thing I was gonna ask for was 3k for cme. I get free cme through them but I intend to go to conferences and workshops. Theres also no mention of sign on, relocation, or loan repayment so is it worth asking for considering the rest of the offer? thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and a doc but at first I'll be with another pa. Medical dental vision. Retirement options is 401k I think. Dea comes out of the 1500.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2019 not a bad offer overall. cme should be higher. it is nice if licenses, dea, nccpa, etc do not come out of cme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same as well. I was figuring I should ask for 3k CME and see what I get on the counter offer if anything or ask if they can cover the DEA, license etc. The ER isnt a trauma center but I can also ask about CAQ and ATLS coverage. Overall I'm pretty interested in learning/getting certed in as much as possible for my field so I think the CME is important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dabba Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Counter offer was 2500 CME and 5k sign on. I'll likely take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 wow, great offer for a new grad. I would totally take it. Make sure learning environment is available, especially as a new grad. What state is this in? By comparison, i interviewed in Iowa for ER job at $54/hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
