    This channel made $2,030 last year. To be clear, I wouldn't tarnish my profession reputation for less money than one day on this job. This is a real offer. The monthly earnings are **estimates** as stated. A typical ER per diem PA can expect to see $75 - $110/hour. A higher rate may be $120-140/hour. The rate in this video is without taxes considered and as a 1099 (aka no benefits). That is fine as I already have a full-time job.

    Hey John! I've been watching your videos and I want to tell you that they have encouraged me to take on my first locum tenens job in my home state of TX. I graduated in august of 2021 and ill be coming up on my first year as a PA in November. I know you review contracts and I managed to negotiate (a lot of back and forth btw) my first one and here are the details: Fam med, 3mo assignment, M-F 8-4:30PM, 15-20 PPD, 90/hr w/ a travel stipend of 15/hr ($600 weekly),which brings it to a total of 105/hr. They cover malpractice and the clinic is about a 2 hr commute from home, so ill have to stay at a cheap hotel 4 days out of the week, but since its a rural location rates go for $60 per night. What you think?

    Volunteer Fire Department will pay for your EMT, or you can take a EMT course through a community college for a semester and test for NREMT at the end of the semester. EMT School is about 16 weeks of schooling at a cc. Through a Department class it may be 6 months of training. It's a good stepping towards PA, esp if you're looking into emergency medicine.

    Hi, as for some general stuff, I would start by asking your colleagues and the docs you work with. I found this opportunity through a physician that was a locum at our ER. Many agencies have recruiters; however, some are way more aggressive than others. I would also research the hospital and area they want to put you in before saying "yes."

    Hey Mikal, I think the ER will continue to need help and have decent PA salaries as it's a 24/7 - 365 gig. Your experience as a medic would be very useful in getting your foot in the door. To be frank, graduating at 45 is fine if you're fine with it. There was a large age range of students in my PA cohort.

I recently a few weeks ago, decided to get into PA. Will transfer to a CSU on the fall of next year. I've definitely had those moments where I asked the "what if" questions, "what if I decided to go to school after highschool instead of working?"

    This specific opportunity was initially brought up in a WhatsApp message by a travel Physician I worked with before. I've also received phone calls from Locums companies that I've scheduled phone "interviews" with to discuss opportunities / needs / salaries. If you know docs that do per diem or travel work, those companies will likely also place PAs. There are also a few companies and opportunities you can find online however I have no specific recommendations. If you get on their contact list they will keep you in the loop for new jobs and posts even if you don't care for what they have currently. If you can, I think you have more leverage with a smaller companies rather than larger organizations.

    Eh I believe PA is such an Overrated underpaid profession designed for people who can’t fathom working over 40 hours a week. My wife and I earn well over 500k a year, no travel, no high cost of living, no state taxes, NO LOANS. Debt free. We’re in our 20s. When you showed your last check of $6,000 in two weeks, I rolled over. The issue with roles like this, there’s barely any overtime. Usually your boss is a Doctor and he can’t afford to pay you what he makes. Seattle Paramedics earn $45hr, and live on site pulling 24 hour shifts. 96 hours a week. That’s right, $290,000 per year and sleep 8-9 hours a shift. RNs get paid $100hr IV picc, All W2, no 1099 travel bullshit. :/ People love to trade pay potential for titles.
