There’s also quite a few positions with “Beautiful Florida living”, “Unlimited earning potential” and “Golfers wanted but not required”. Also, according to the ACR job postings, large swaths of rural America are simply stunning, wonderful places to live. I never knew these corporate types had such an appreciation for rural life in America.

THat’s why all their headquarters are in western Nebraska

Good luck RP.

Yeesh. At least with 1 on 1 off you dont have to constantly flip back and forth from day to night

[tselvidas_246]

This job requires you to work days and nights. Why on earth would anyone sign up for this given the current job market?
 
Furthermore, this is deceptive advertising; 3 days on the second week is not 1 week on and two weeks off! Hopefully these jobs are a vestige of our forgettable past.

[enrirad2000]

Instead of full nights they should split the shifts into
 
5 pm – 1 am or    6- 1 am
1 am – 9 am or    1- 8 am
 
This way, day time rads can even attend conf/tumor boards and other meetings from 7 – 9 am without burdened by clinical duties.
 
my 2 cents
More manageable.

why don’t you work your “suggested” shift and report back after six months and let everyone know how you are doing?

That’s the shift schedule I would put someone on whom I really really hate.

I received an ad that, since there is no weekend call, totaled up the Saturdays and Sundays and counted them as vacation.

How dumb do they think we are?

[ghokie_90]

Heres a question – say I have 1.5M to spend on night coverage for my group. Ignore the benefits- pretend I dont care about paying 3 vs 4 sets of benefits. 11p to 7a. 7 nights in a row. Would people be more interested in 7 on 14 off at 500k salary each, or 7 on 21 off at 375k each?

[Count Contrastula]

My question is can one person really cover a night. I cant imagine how busy/big the places(es) must be to justify that expenditure.

[g.giancaspro_108]

There is a group advertising on ACR right now offering both those situations (two ads, each highlighting one of the two situations but mentioning both options are available). You could contact them and ask, If thats not your group. If youre asking us individually, Id pick the 7:21 option.

[JorgeRL]

I received a postcard recently advertising 7 on 14 off, 8 hour shifts, for 200 an hour!!!

[Count Contrastula]

$240k. No thanks.

[ranweiss]

Anything less than 3**k (and that’s being generous) for that kind of job is a joke.

[AcutelyObtuse]

365 / 3 x 8 x $200 = $195k
 
I bet that’s 1099 income too, so you pay all the FICA tax, buy your own health/disability/life insurance, pension/401k contributions, etc.

[mariana.gonzalez_122]

Imo 1 wk on 1 off is not sustainable for more than a few years without a runway to some other schedule. Assuming tele only and low acuity ed centers (versus tertiary care or academics) think option 1 on 2 off is reasonable. Presumably you will be reading 140 or so cases a night to justify that expense maybe a little more. Otherwise the math would favor national telerad if volume is lower

[consuldreugenio]

If a group collects $45-50/rvu, a salary of $500k (no benefits) is feasible for one on two off. Would have to read 83-90 rvus a day. Thats definitely feasible with a favorable case mix, efficient pacs, dictation software and support staff. I cross that rvu number almost every time on ED/inpatient day or evening shifts. Granted, its not fun and I do not work past 11 pm.

[ljohnson_509]

Whats the pay for that job posting?

How about volume requirements? What happens if theyre short, are you expected to work more?

How screwed are you with non competes and other traps if you leave?

What advancement opportunities do you have as far as partnership? What does partnership mean in this practice?

[afazio.uk_887]

I came across on job ad, presumably from the same outfit, that had NO CALL in the job title in all-caps, only to say 1:5 or 1:6 body imaging call required in the job ad paragraph !?!

[mario.mtz30_447]

Fake news, fake ad heading!

[jtvanaus]

If the ACR is going to put their name on these listings, they should take them down when they’re complete b*******

[afazio.uk_887]

ACR is totally in bed with corporate practices.  ACR “leaders” routinely give talks at the various corp practice meetings.  It’s just the way things work these days.

[mario.mtz30_447]

Why would they do that? Were they bought off?

[mpezeshkirad_710]

Old thread but what is the state of these night jobs these days? With numbers for hours, schedule, pay, volumes, productivity

[ranweiss]

Friend of mine from residency signed with a big name academic center in downtown Chicago. Evening gig until 1 or 2 Am, starting around 2 or 3 pm. Residents and fellows to decompress the volume. Busy, but 7 on, 14 off, mid 3s
