I’ve noticed burnout creeping in, especially with my 50-60 hour weeks lately. It’s hard to keep the same energy when each day is packed with patients, charting, and admin tasks. I love patient care, but lately, it’s been hard to find balance. For those who’ve been in this field for years, how do you keep from burning out? Do you set strict boundaries on hours, or maybe find ways to recharge outside of work? I’d love to hear real-life strategies that help keep your passion for being a PA alive without draining yourself.

I took a job as a primary care locum. So I travel for work. I work 4-10s and make sure I take time off between assignments. Travel assignments better for my mental health.

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
