New Grad PA / NP Watch this BEFORE You Fail in the ER or Urgent Care

Are you a new grad PA or NP looking at urgent care or ER jobs? Is that a good idea? Getting started in these specialties is possible, but you need to ensure a few things first.
1. Have a plan in place regarding how you will grow and continue to learn
2. Have REAL oversight, not some sham scheme
3. Have reasonable expectations for volume that a new grad can handle

Glad you posted this. Watched many APP's crash and burn in the ER. Mainly in Fast Track. I agree.. not being a solo provider helps in any setting honestly. Thanks again.❤

Just finished shadowing last two weeks at an urgent care, all the issues you spoke about are exactly what happens at the urgent care, patients backed up, being a solo provider etc.

All pre PAs should shadow in at least once in an emergency/urgent care speciality to get an idea of what the job entails.

at times u keep me going with this PA thing especially as a new graduate PA from Ghana. it is unfortunate but the PA program in Ghana is rather a servitude than a profession. i wish one day i will see a content on how to escape this slavery.

You’re right. Ima new grad np that started working in urgent care and I had three days of training! They didn’t teach me how to do procedures. I wanna find a training course near me that would show me how. I’m very sad that I don’t get properly trained bc I wanna be really good at my job 😢

Im a new grad NP. I work in the ER as a nurse. I want to do urgent care as an NP as well. I’m looking for a place where I can get the best training possible and 3 day work week. Most places I’ve seen are only offering a couple of weeks of training. I’d love to find one offering 6-12 months. Where are those?

As a PA of 4 years working in the ED, how often are you making the nurses wait 45mins for you to put in basic labs? While you’re consulting with the physicians on every single patient?

Hello, I have a question about PA. I heard when you apply for PA school you have to wait one year gap when they accept you! Is this right or not?

I am in this process right now applying to EM gigs as a new grad. How long should a training period be? I’m seeing only 3 month onboarding
