let's get real about something that's not always easy to talk about: dating.

We all know the long hours, unpredictable schedules, and emotional toll our jobs can take. It's not exactly the ideal recipe for a thriving dating life. But hey, we deserve love too, right?

So, is it difficult to date when you're a PA? Do you find it challenging to meet people who understand the demands of our profession? Any tips for finding a partner who's supportive and willing to navigate the ups and downs of our busy schedules?

Dating as a PA definitely has its challenges, but it's absolutely possible to find someone who understands and appreciates our lifestyle. I've found success by being upfront about my schedule and commitments from the get-go. It's also important to seek out partners who value their own independence and have fulfilling lives outside of the relationship. That way, we can support each other's goals and passions without feeling suffocated.

Alright grill me I don't care. But I matched with a guy on an app and we have great conversations. However, after going on a few dates with him, it's obvious he looks nothing like his pictures. He has grown his hair out a lot and grown king facial hair and it's just not what I was into when we matched? I really thought he looked different and something about his hair being long and so greasy makes it hard for me to be into him. I know I sound awful but what do I do / say?

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
