delco714 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Hi Delco714,Wow.... Its great to hear that you are giving equal importance to your classmate and girl friend. Have a safe and happy journey and life. Thank you very much! We're very excited, and we're also getting a puppy soon! I wanted to leave NY and she wanted to go home, perfect. :). When i get all the little details about my job offer and accept it, I'm going to post a "what do you think about my offer"thread, and also a thread about my story. I've been here on the forums for almost 5 years now!
delco714 Posted January 11, 2014 Author It's a shame how dull this section is.. where are all the Maine PAs at?
Nonlegit Posted March 25, 2015 I'm probably a few years out, but always loved the state when I was younger. Its strongly on my radar, as I'll likely be looking to move back to New England when I am done. I particularly like midcoast Maine, and would be looking at EM positions I'm guessing. The dream would be a small hobby farm, close beach access, outdoors activities, seafood, but I can't let the cart get too far ahead of the horse here...
MrsGPAC Posted March 26, 2015 Another Maine PA here. Graduated in May, now working ED in mid-maine (non-coastal).
delco714 Posted March 27, 2015 Author How is it that having trained in NYC level 1 trauma for peds, surg, ed, peds ed that I couldn't get an ER job 2 years ago as a new grad moving to Maine?
MrsGPAC Posted March 27, 2015 I fell into this job backwards. I did all my rotations in Maine and knew the right people I guess? Quite a few connections and timing were heavily involved. It was a long painful job search/hiring process though. We are hiring now for the ED...
SoCalPA Posted March 27, 2015 I heard the scope of practice/autonomy for PAs in the ED there is extraordinary. Is that so? How's the pay if you don't mind? I used to live in New England and could be convinced to suffer the snow in exchange for great scope. Lol
MrsGPAC Posted March 28, 2015 Autonomy where I am is great. In fact, I more often feel like I'm allowed too much autonomy than too little. Granted I'm 6 months out and working main ED shifts at a level II trauma center, so I should feel that way. The seasoned folks I work with function basically like the MD's. Pretty sweet set up, particularly if you stick around a while. Pay is good when compared to other new grads in my area. It was the highest I was offered when compared to (occ med/urgent care, multiple family med practices) and is higher than any of the other new grads I'm close with who are in vascular sx, trauma sx, family med. I feel like it's pretty on par with the average for the area.
mainah Posted March 29, 2015 I particularly like midcoast Maine, and would be looking at EM positions I'm guessing. I grew up in the midcoast...it would meet all your goals for sure!
