NYC PAs pls help!
Hi everyone. Im a new grad considering positions currently and I went through the process of clearence with Hospital A and would start probably within a few weeks. I just got accepted to Hospital B which with clearence would be 3 months for now for a start date. im having trouble deciding to just stick with Hospital A or resign my offer now and wait three more months to start. For reference I haven't started working anywhere and its been about 7 months since I graduated. Below are more details of each hospital choices. I would greatly appreciate any insight!!
Hospital A: OBGYN/ City hospital in Queens. = $148,625.57 yearly
~1199 position, mostly clinic with the potential for L&D depending on department needs.
~ M-F 8-4:30pm,
~ 20 vacation days and 12 sick days, Pension through union, 403b retirement plan but no employer contribution
~CME = 5 days and $750
~Commute: 45 min two busses
Hospital B: Internal Medicine/ NYP Manhatten = $161,000 rotating shifts 3 months days,3 months nights with 10% differential 3- 12.5 hour shifts.
~ CME= 1,000
~ 4 weeks vacation time/ 12 sick days per year / 3 personal holidays
~ perfect attendance can award you two extra vacation days
~ After one year the hospital contributes 5% to my annual salary and it increases with time.
~Commute: About an hour +/-10 mins taking two trains into the City.
** If you made it this far thank you! I keep going back and fourth with both the pros and cons. I do see myself in both specialties, with OBGYN as a perference but would love a 3- 12 work week in an inpatient unit rather than a clinic job. Internal Medicine can def. help solidify medicine esp as a new grad. HOWEVER, if I CHOOSE HOSPITAL B, I would wait another 3 months to start. I dont think its 'correct' to start Hospital A and then leave within 3months till the other job starts? Or just stay with Hospital A?
If anyone has any insight or advice. Id greatly appreciate it.
