It is usually not recommended due to your class schedule and time commitment needed to study. My program did not come out and say we can't work, but it did say that work related obligations were not an excuse for missing or not completing academic obligations.

That’s good to know. Thank you for responding.

It was a rule at my friends school. If they heard any rumors of someone working they would bring them in for discussion or make them go to extra study hours.

Absolutely yes, did we pay attention to it no.

PA school is no joke. I would equate it to carrying a double load in college. Time management is essential and the key to success.
I had classmates who lost relationships, marriages, etc.

Hello,
I’m a MRI technologist with bachelors in radiologic science. My goal is to become epic analyst. I do have a proficiency in Radiant. However, I am not having much luck with any applications.

My options are either go for masters or go for another bachelors in IT/computer science. What could be my other options? Thank you.

How do I build this out? Any suggestions or examples would be super helpful. Thank you!!

Hello all,

I'm a PA in the PNW working for a private group staffing ED's in several hospitals. Recently the group has asked the PA's to take on a couple new roles (triaging and rapid track from triage i.e. straightforward ESI 4, 5). With these changes the PA's are considering asking for increased pay in the form of an addition of a COLA (cost of living adjustment) to our normal salary. Was wondering if any other PA's in the ED have these in their contracts and at what rate.

-Thanks
