Medic207 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 From what I understand its pretty expensive to live/work in NYC. That said this pay looks horrible? And with only a 2k increase after a year sounds like a junior hospital administrator trying make a low ball offer. This roughly translates to $40 an hour which may "sound" good but your only getting 36 hours a week. A lot of new grad PAs make a lower amount as a first gig, but usually can prove their worth fairly quickly. Maybe you should try to not accept anything less than $55 per hour to start out. Can you live in NYC on part time hours? What does the ER RN make per hour in the same hospital? Regarding the CME- 40 hours is very vague. You should ask for 2000 per year amount and choose your own CME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason09 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Terrible salary for ANY PA job, especially EM. I would say try and re-negotiate but with such a low initial offer I don't think you can come to a reasonable offer. Walk away. You are getting way below national average across the board for new grad PAs. I know NYC is a hard market but you are basically working with all the risks for a nurse salary...

jmacken37 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 That is way too low of a salary, especially considering the cost of living in NYC. That being said, if that is the only job you can find and you're set on EM, go for it. If you do go for it, I'd start sending my resume out after about six months.
