Ortho PAs don't make $250 a year
Correct. Divide that by 2 and some change for my wife who is a Ortho NP.

Not sure what is more comical, those not physicans telling them what they make or the med students/residents/physicians telling RN'S what they make.

Are we going to keep hearing this kind of stuff increasingly now that we have an AI renaissance of sorts? So much hand-waving in this type of talk.

Depends on how busy - wife is a pedi, and that number is way low even in a bad year, but she is good and has built a helluva practice over 18 years.

I hate to break it to you guys but RNs here make that much. Base rate for a new grad at my facility is 61 an hour. After 8 hours is time and a half and after 12 hours is double. Call or standby pay is half your hourly. I am not going to hit that this year because I only work 20 hours a week but most of my coworkers will clear at least 200 and the ones that work full time will make 250....which is why the mds have to be making more than that report I would think.
Edit-where in California pays 24 bucks an hour?!? And travel nurses make far less than staff nurses here which is why I went staff and stopped traveling.

I'm not in California, in Alabama. Was wanting to hire a few of the good nurses from the hospital for my clinic, and asked them what the hospital paid them to see if I could afford it. I have many friends that are nurses that have told me, and know many that travel because the pay is sometimes as much as twice the hospitals in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

You are saying RN new grads are making 61\hr??? 
Posted on 4/2/16 at 10:52 pm to jennBN
Obviously there are always extremes in medical salaries......I know an orthopedic doc banking well over 1 million per year an has two PA-C making over 300k with him ( mostly medical/legal work)
Just like I know attorneys living the high life and I know some barely breaking 50k.

Yes. That is what I am saying. And I work at the lowest paying hospital in the area. I believe Kaiser starts them at 65.
Edit-odinson, so are docs compensated at all based on where they live eg. Reimbursements? I would love to know but don't talk money with my mds.

The short answer is yes. Medicare/Medicaid/private insurance reimbursements all vary depending on geographical locations. When you get into hospital base, private practice, fee schedules, RVUs etc, etc....that's where all the salary discrepancies also comes into play.

The $60 an hour starting pay out in Cali is obviously the most out of anywhere but it also has the highest cost of living in the country. Finding a RN job in the large urban areas of Cali is almost impossible for new grads and you have to have a BSN not an ASN to even get considered. I find that throughout the South (I am in Knoxville)that the starting base rate is 18-30. Like you said, travel nurses in the South can make big bucks by living in a low cost area and taking jobs where the pay is almost double.

My neighbor is a Gastroenterologist..... Often wondered why someone would go into that field.... Now I know.
His father is a doctor too, so he probably got some good advice.

Actually having a bsn in California is not necessary. There is no pay increase for it either. Our facility is a hiring 120 new grads this year with 52 week ori programs for critical care areas...are you interested? Insurance is completely free for your entire family as well. This is the best state for my profession which is why the mds HAVE to make more than that chart.....thanks odinson for the info. There is no tactful way to ask that at work.

Dermatologists third highest paid. Calling BS on that list.

Hopefully going to be matching into Neuro in a year. Fingers crossed. It's down on the list, but I enjoy the field from what I've seen so far.

Precipitous. A precipitous drop. Super!
