This channel made $2,030 last year. To be clear, I wouldn't tarnish my profession reputation for less money than one day on this job. This is a real offer. The monthly earnings are **estimates** as stated. A typical ER per diem PA can expect to see $75 - $110/hour. A higher rate may be $120-140/hour. The rate in this video is without taxes considered and as a 1099 (aka no benefits). That is fine as I already have a full-time job.
Are PAs able to do OT? like when you get a contract that's 3 12's could you work a 4th or 5th day if you wanted to?
Well I didn’t plan on travel PA when I graduate but these loans ain’t gonna pay themselves 😅
That’s a good hourly rate. I’m a critical care PA that work locums at 4 different hospitals at rates of $100-130 depending. Just past the first year mark making $250k+. Open an LLC and then you will see how much money you will really be making😏. Happy hunting bro
That’s CRNA money bro. Impressive and nice work
I just finished my didactic year of PA school and am about to start clinicals. I use to be a travel paramedic before PA school and so I always knew I'd go back to doing traveling as a PA because of the insane pay rates. This video was really encouraging and informative. Thanks for sharing and not gate-keeping!
Love your videos. I’ve been watching since the start. I’m 22 and in my first semester of PA school now. Keep making them!
Love to hear this! I'm an ER Tech & EMT looking to be a PA, probably in the ER. Times are tough right now financially as my current jobs don't pay that much, but I know I have a lot to look forward to! Love the videos John as always!
This is so helpful. Market awareness is key to these hourly rates becoming the norm for per diem positions.
Good for you bro! Congrats
God willing I'm applying to PA school this year. 🙏
love your content John.
Badass bro! Currently watching this to motivate me through finals 2 more classes until I finish my PA prerequisites. I was wondering did you get ur EMT license and work in the ER before being accepted in Emergency Medicine? I want to align myself properly let me know ! And currently have (1.5yrs left of Undergrad & then applying PA School)
I love this video! Way to be a go-getter!!!!
Hey John! I've been watching your videos and I want to tell you that they have encouraged me to take on my first locum tenens job in my home state of TX. I graduated in august of 2021 and ill be coming up on my first year as a PA in November. I know you review contracts and I managed to negotiate (a lot of back and forth btw) my first one and here are the details: Fam med, 3mo assignment, M-F 8-4:30PM, 15-20 PPD, 90/hr w/ a travel stipend of 15/hr ($600 weekly),which brings it to a total of 105/hr. They cover malpractice and the clinic is about a 2 hr commute from home, so ill have to stay at a cheap hotel 4 days out of the week, but since its a rural location rates go for $60 per night. What you think?
Given that there are different regulations and or laws that govern or facilitate the scope of practice for a PA in different states. Do they have to take a separate certification exam as per practicing in a different state?
Now we talking! Congratulations on the new avenue of income! About time they pay PA-s well.
Travel is the way to go. Currently a CT travel tech and made 130k this year (while taking 3 months off in between one of my contract). I was ready to apply to PA school next year but honestly don’t think it’s worth the stress of the schooling and not being able to work for two years and to give up the lifestyle I have currently.
Congrats man, take advantage while you can
cat scan tech? that's what traveling ct is??
@@fallback8314 yes!
Did you set up a separate LLC or sole proprietorship for the locums income? I’m currently doing locums and trying to figure out the best way to handle the finances and taxes part.
Hey man what’s your specialty ? I plan on going to pa school but idk what I would specialize in.
God I can’t wait to get on the floor and make some money instead of being hunched over my computer 8+ hours a day studying without pay
Hey friend, I’m planning on becoming a PA, I’m almost done with my prerequisite classes and planning on enrolling in an EMT program. Do you know of any accelerated EMT programs? Or is it better to do the EMT certification at a community college?
Volunteer Fire Department will pay for your EMT, or you can take a EMT course through a community college for a semester and test for NREMT at the end of the semester. EMT School is about 16 weeks of schooling at a cc. Through a Department class it may be 6 months of training. It's a good stepping towards PA, esp if you're looking into emergency medicine.
I’m trynna be like YOU ma boy!!
Hey bro how to get admission in pa as a international students
My daughter is looking into PA. Are you willing to give some direction or do some mentoring?
Nice to know you are pro 2A
For a new grad, what’s a good amount of experience you should get working before you can confidently travel, do you think? (Obvi many variables), also I Imagine ER is the most common need
I would give yourself at least 2 years of stable ER work and learning before you try to travel to an unknown location with staff you are not familiar with and a whole new EMR / processes to get used to.
I've decided to go this route. The c shot mandate turned me off to Healthcare. However I have friends who got away with it. I'm not for forced experimentation to make a living. Hoping for the best
Hi John, could you offer me some advice on how to prepare for my first rural emergency department job as a new graduate? What resources did you use?
I planned on doing a video on such a topic
Subscribed and liked 😂
What sports car is that?
I just turned 38 and have had a great career as a set medic in the film/TV industry, but I still am entertaining the goal of going back to school for my PA degree, which when all is said and dine, I'd be about 45 when Im graduated/practicing, my question is what do you think the future of PA's in the ER is? Is it a specialty that will continue to grow and have competitive salaries as you mentioned? Love the channel, and yes I am a subscriber lol
Hey Mikal, I think the ER will continue to need help and have decent PA salaries as it's a 24/7 - 365 gig. Your experience as a medic would be very useful in getting your foot in the door. To be frank, graduating at 45 is fine if you're fine with it. There was a large age range of students in my PA cohort.
in the midst of me entering my 20s and stressing about needing to be on a final definite path by the time I'm 30, you nearing 40 and still settling on what exactly you want, and going to school n everything, is rlly comforting. thank u man
@@hobelarge6389 I recently turned 27 and still in community college (started in 2018 at age 23) for psychology major but dropped it after a semester and didn't go back to school until Jan. 2019 after switching to kinesiology wanting to be a PT. I recently a few weeks ago, decided to get into PA. Will transfer to a CSU on the fall of next year.
I've definitely had those moments where I asked the "what if" questions, "what if I decided to go to school after highschool instead of working?" But I remind myself that I probably would have majored in something else entirely and may not have been happy with it. I still get the feeling from time to time though.
Went through PA program in my mid 40s with 2 kids at home. You can do this later and still be wildly successful!
Hey John! I'm a hospitalist PA with 2 years experience now interested in getting into locums. Are there companies you would suggest or do you have any pointers when looking into which company to sign with?
Hi, as for some general stuff, I would start by asking your colleagues and the docs you work with. I found this opportunity through a physician that was a locum at our ER. Many agencies have recruiters; however, some are way more aggressive than others. I would also research the hospital and area they want to put you in before saying "yes."
What about the name of that locum company?
Blessings
I was planning on going to med school to become a psychiatrist but this is making me question if I should go the PA route
Lol you’ll make more as a psychiatrist.
Hey John...
Do PA schools accept international students? If so is PA program is stem based? After completing my degree can I extend my visa for work purposes? Kindly guide.Much needed.
Every PA school I have looked into in the US requires you to be a permanent resident or a US citizen.
There are PA schools that do accept international students. In fact, the PA program I will be attending has international students in their program!
Any advice for those with disabilities wanting to go to PA school? Is it common?
PA programs usually outline some sort of list relating to this, if it doesnt get in the way of being a PA or its not on their list of disabilities they deem to be an issue then i say go for it 100%.
How many miles away from home you must have to meet the travel job criteria ? Great videos ❤
It's a 3-hour drive one way. They will pay for my travel & hotel but I actually have family in the vicinity
How do you find opportunities like this?
This specific opportunity was initially brought up in a WhatsApp message by a travel Physician I worked with before. I've also received phone calls from Locums companies that I've scheduled phone "interviews" with to discuss opportunities / needs / salaries. If you know docs that do per diem or travel work, those companies will likely also place PAs. There are also a few companies and opportunities you can find online however I have no specific recommendations. If you get on their contact list they will keep you in the loop for new jobs and posts even if you don't care for what they have currently.
If you can, I think you have more leverage with a smaller companies rather than larger organizations.

MK 14 a sound investment
So I calculated that 190 hour 3 12hr days doing 2 specialities, plus ot on one of em on Sunday is $889,200 a year. Of course that doing 12s. And also assuming ot is 1.5 times normal pay. 🤑🤑🤑🤑
It's not feasible to work six 12s a week for 52 weeks. Also, you're not getting any OT on $190/hour. The rate is atypical and the duration was only for a few months. I'm now seeing $120-$130/hour for PAs in the department as a 1099
Could you please recommend me a pa school to take admissions.
I would have no way of doing that.

Eh I believe PA is such an Overrated underpaid profession designed for people who can’t fathom working over 40 hours a week.
My wife and I earn well over 500k a year, no travel, no high cost of living, no state taxes, NO LOANS.
Debt free.
We’re in our 20s.
When you showed your last check of $6,000 in two weeks, I rolled over.
The issue with roles like this, there’s barely any overtime. Usually your boss is a Doctor and he can’t afford to pay you what he makes.
Seattle Paramedics earn $45hr, and live on site pulling 24 hour shifts. 96 hours a week.
That’s right, $290,000 per year and sleep 8-9 hours a shift. RNs get paid $100hr IV picc, All W2, no 1099 travel bullshit.
:/ People love to trade pay potential for titles.
I made $11,000 in one week fam. I will gross about $40K from Nov 30 to the end of December '22. Don't worry about me. Whatever any of us are earning - people are making MORE and doing LESS. A fact of life. Go get that bread :)
@@JohnThePA We’re straight up rich.
I can’t wait to be so rich that I become an influencer, and sell people on the idea that their wild delusions are actually possible 😂😂😂
Look into Dover UK for property.
30 minute ferry to France and a few hour train ride to Paris. You can pick a 3bd detached terrace up for $320k and have one nice vacation home. The UK is a solid place to look, because their taxes after $50,001 become 40%, so the houses are affordable. Dover has 1bd apartments for $70k, it’s a Coastal town and gorgeous, but not as pricey as the London area. You can stay 6 months per year without needing a Visa :D
WTF? I work upwards of 60-70 hours a week as a Nephrology PA. Manage the sickest patients in the hospitals and make nowhere near this much money. Which state do you work in????
Pennsylvania
@@JohnThePAGet that bread John 😂 praying I get into Salus, I saw you on their website!
