Seems pretty lucrative, though. Thinking about accepting.

You can negotiate that rate. Tell them you need travel and housing reimbursement too. Rural locations tend to pay higher so don’t let them lowball you.
As someone who has worked for €5/hr, $300/hr is astronomical
I once quoted a customer $400 an hour because I didn't want to develop their shitty product.
it worked.
We call that an FOQ - fuck-off quote
It's a real thing for some specialized doctors apparently
Don't read how much lawyers make.
Depends on the country. Lawyers in Germany have a minimum rate of around 220€/h. But when you factor in tax, cost of coworkers, cost of the subscriptions to legal commentaries, length of education (regularly 5 years at university + 2 years in practical education) etc. it's actually not too much.
I know a vet who used to do the 'relief shift' thing, and he was pulling $200/hr. I would imagine a doctor can swing it as well. And yeah, if I even did that for two months, it would be life changing money for me.
Please forward to me, I could use the extra cash.
He seems to have included the phone number. You just have to guess the last digit.
Not difficult, the most you'll have to try is ten times.
Me:
Give it a crack, what's the worst that could happen?
Take the interview and waste their time
They don't specify what kind of doctor.
Is that one of the states with mandated reporting of miscarriages because it might be an abortion? Pass.
Just report that both Greg Abbot and Ken Paxton had miscarriages.
isn't that one of those "pig butchering" scams?
Yeah, but you’d have to live in Dickson, which isn’t great.
/shrug
It's near the interstate and only about 45 min outside of Nashville. $300/hr is a lot of money.
Assuming you get 5 12-hour shifts per month, that's only $216k per year. Sure, you have a lot of time off, but you can make much more as a doctor, depending on what kind of specialty, of course. Maybe OP can tell us what kind of doctor he isn't.
Maybe OP can tell us what kind of doctor he isn’t.
The title is I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV.
Maybe OP can tell us what kind of doctor he isn't.
Thanks.
$216k is plenty to live on for putting in so few hours
I'd do reprehensible things for $216k
I absolutely agree, for me, but is it enough to attract a doctor who probably has $240k in student loans to pay off and can make more elsewhere? To someone in that position it may not be worth responding to.
That's pretty good money for doctors that are only working a 60 hour month. Compared to full time doctors, which supposedly average ~400k a year, that's actually coming out better. (Sort of, https://medschoolinsiders.com/pre-med/how-much-do-doctors-make/ says that a cardiologist will be working 60 hour weeks, which would be 240 a month, or four times as much as this 60 hour a month doc).
Forbes also has slightly different numbers, but it's pretty clearly written by ai, so take it with a grain of salt.
Glassdoor, which is probably biased by who goes on there and puts in info, says the average is closer to 300k, which is then really close for someone working less than 50% of the 'average' amount of hours in a month.
If I were a doctor in tennessee, I'd probably consider it. I seem to recall that emergency medicine doctors moonlight quite a bit, so add in another 5-10 days working in the better paying hospitals near nashville and boost that ~200k to somewhere like 400-500k.
It’s probably enough to attract retired docs who need to enhance their retirement savings in their 70s because everything has gotten so expensive & their younger second or third wife is still spending like he makes millions. All they are probably dreaming about is 2-3 weeks away from her so you can have some piece and quiet. Pick up a few shifts, get free room and board in a different city while you know you’re old but you still feel young. It could be freeing for some people to get an offer like this.
24 hour shifts
Certainly possible. I haven't bothered looking into what types of shifts are typical for doctors in hospitals, but $430k is certainly more attractive.
Its not that bad, other than the traffic/drive into Nashville. You live in a reasonable part of the state, with access to everything good, but dont have to pay crazy prices to get shitty schools, and potholes. I would pick Watertown over Dickson though if I wanted to be just out side of town.
