dfw6er Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I've gotten a few texts and emails from recruiters regarding working in NYC and surrounding hospitals. I haven't replied as I'm too busy with school. If anyone wants, I'm happy to forward the recruiter's info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Side note: don’t refer to us as “midlevels” ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is for managing covid tents in the parking lots of NYC hospitals. 12 hr shifts. 21 days on, 2 days off, repeat. no thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayamom Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 21 days on 2 off??? You've got to be kidding. I used to work 3 jobs as a young PA but that's near impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc56 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Quick math..... 12 hour shifts x 7 days a week = 84 hours a week working. $13000 / 84 hours = (about) $155. You are probably 1099 so that really is not that much money for a brutal schedule. Any 1099 want to chime in on how much you have to take out for taxes and what not? Maybe the work is not hard, but I suspect you are seeing a lot of people. The $13000 a week sounds awesome until you break it down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 15.3% for both halves of taxes, though half of that is deducted when you itemize. Withholding of estimated taxes at 22-24% most likely on top of other annual income. Depending on state you may need to contribute W/C payments to system as well.

I'm 1099 and pay about 25% in taxes between federal and state. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc56 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Cinntsp- 25% is not as bad as i thought. I figured like 35-40%. I realize now I have been way off when it comes to what I thought taxes would be for 1099. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltawave Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Anyone actually take one of these spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yeah, I would be curious to hear about people's experience if anyone ended up taking a spot. Personally, not interested at all, even though it is greater than double my hourly rate. Now, if I was laid off or furloughed, then the equation starts to change in my mind.

AbeTheBabe Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I just saw an ad paying 10,000/week for ICU RN's in New York if you work 6 12's a week. If you break it down that's 139/hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobuddy Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I have been following several FB groups that are there with Krucial. I am considering this since I have been furloughed but have not signed up yet since I am trying to get more information. The money sounds great but it is 12 hour shifts for 21 days straight. They bus you to your assignment - you leave the hotel at 5am or 5pm based on which shift you get - and you get back around 9p/9 a after the bus brings you back to the hotel. So, those are 14 hour days (or nights) for 21 days straight. Seeing high reports of staff becoming ill and having to leave - understandable. Depending on what state you reside in - you may have to do 14 day quarantine in NY or home - so it is essentially a 5 week time frame. You are exempt from Federal taxes but do have to pay NY taxes. If they had shorter assignments - or a day off in between that might be better but I am not sure I could do the long days (or nights) for 21 days straight. For myself doing FP for the past 21 years, this would be jumping into the fire - I have never done any length of time in ICU/CCU let alone managing patients on a vent. But it would be a great training and once in a lifetime experience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dphy83 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I spoke with a recruiter about a NYC position. A lot of the staffing companies are actually subcontractors for Caliburn. The details I got for a particular assignment were 155/hr up to 40 hours then 1.25x rate after that, so 193/hr. Likely worked like a dog but to earn >$42k in a single month had its appeal. Significant other said no, so I'll just stay in my area, see the same stuff (albeit not on the NYC scale as of yet), and receive normal pay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my wife weren't pregnant I'd be there and my student loans would be vanquished in a month, but she's 6 weeks out from due date...timing sucks. I mean it all sucks...but (I hope) you get my point.
