“Currently a resident, but I’ve already signed my contract. It’s 7 on 7 off. The physician whose position I’m taking is able to get to work after 8 am, and he told me never stays past 2 pm unless the NP he works with needs help with admissions. I will likely stay later starting out to build rapport with the team, but it will be nice to have a flexible schedule considering I have a young daughter who will be starting school. Also $50k sign on bonus and $3k monthly stipend until I start. ”
