Unfortunately, not many speech pathologists are on Fishbowl. Those on Fishbowl rarely post too, at least from what I have seen. You are actually the first SLP I have seen post on Fishbowl, even though I have been on Fishbowl for months. Speech pathologists are ridiculously underpaid. I recently interviewed for an inpatient position at a large acute hospital, which is part of a big hospital group in Washington DC. The starting pay was only $33/hour! Can you imagine how to survive on such a low hourly wage in such an expensive area in this country? I was told with my three years full time work experience in medical speech pathology, and my many advanced training and certification, I will only be getting a bit higher. Nothing else. How did our profession end up in such a pathetic state as it is today, where speech pathologists are overworked but ridiculously underpaid? Can any speech pathologist enlighten me, please?
I 100% agree with this, us OT’s also lack the balls for proper compensation. I can’t comment so much on the productivity levels for SNF since I haven’t worked in that capacity but those numbers sound absurd. 🤯
