I’ve been picking up extra shifts for months now—some weeks working 50-60 hours—and it’s starting to take a toll. I want to support my team, especially with patient volumes so high, but I’m feeling burnt out. Just last week, I said yes to an extra 12-hour shift, even though I was running on fumes. It’s hard to say no without feeling like I’m letting everyone down, but I know I can’t keep this pace up. How do you balance helping out with protecting your own well-being? Any tips on saying no while still being a good teammate?

Ugh, I so know how you feel! Saying no is so hard, and I'm not sure how to really do it myself :(

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
