Great - Recensione dipendente - Speech Language Pathologist presso Emory Healthcare

I have a lot of autonomy working at the high school. But, your time and level of intensity will depend on the school that you're placed at. I happed to be at a very sport-heavy school. You really run your own show, no one is micro-managing you, and you can make it what you want for the most part. There are some perks like continuing ed stipend, extra pay for monthly meetings, and gas reimbursement. You don't need to fill a quota of referrals. The pay is okay, compared to other compensation packages within athletic training. But the pay is still not good enough to support a family of 4 with all the costs that go into creating a happy home (with savings).

It all depends on the school you're assigned. The work is A LOT if you're at a sports-heavy school. This can be great if you enjoy ALL the football and chaos, but not great if you don't. The total hours worked is manageable, but the volume of work is insane. Most days I feel over-stimulated, exhausted, and empathetically burnt-out.

It's okay... I don't know how other ORs are run for comparison. Pay is alright. $47/hr and on-call is $8/hr. Have over 3 years of experience. Most people are pretty friendly. The friendly ones are starting to leave now, unfortunately.

Management doesn't fix problems. They won't respond to emails. Often don't have specimen printers, patient moving boards, etc. Tons of extra timeouts are kind of inconvenient (pre-op, pre-anesthesia, and pre-incision). Parking and commute are hassles. You can't park next to the hospital unless you are a doctor or advanced practitioner. At least 30min per day wasted on bus to and from hospital from parking tower I'm assigned. So much traffic to get to and from work. On call is very tiring. They frequently assign 7pm-7am overnight call right after 12hr shifts and then want you to stay because night shift didn't show up. Call requirement is at least 48hrs per month. Most OR rooms are super messy and badly stocked. ...Seems like more and more bad people are getting promoted to management positions. My immediate manager is good. The ones over her are not that great.
