Any advice where to look for a great job? Which part of the country? I've had 3 interviews and 3 job offers. I'm currently in TN working nights as an RN at the VA medical center.
1. Pain management, that's where I'm currently working mon-thur 8 hr days for $90,000 yr
2. Urgent care - PRN - within 1 hour drive, $42.40 hr to start, $44.40 after with a solo clinic.
3. Rheumatology/arthritis clinic with the VA in Seattle, $92,500 to start per year, 5 days/wk
None of the pay is over $100,000, the pain management job is like a sales job, how many trigger point injections can you do in a day, how many X-ray orders, how many....the more sales (orders) you put in the better and if you don't do enough, they will show you the door.
The VA clinic in Seattle would be the most stable and continue with the employer that I have now, but not great money in a higher cost of living area.
The Urgent care job is with a catholic organization, they are super nice, but minimally manned, after training, I would be in a 4 person urgent care, doing anything that walks in the door, sutures, chest pain, etc.
Is there another way? A better way? My self centered, ego centric view/desire is a mon-thur job that makes at least $100,000 year with no more than 2-3 patients per hour with low stress, does that job exist? If not, which part of the country can a person move to, that is relatively low stress, high pay and a nice place to live, ex, key west is much more attractive than say Chicago :-)
What do you all think? Where does a new grad, old single guy move to and expect to find a decent job?? Does that place even exist??
