I’m a PNP in outpatient pediatrics and was offered a school-based clinic role — does it allow more time for parent coaching, or is it still 18–22 kids a day with Epic notes after 9 pm? I’m hoping to protect family teaching time so I can do more reassurance with parents and cut back on weekend call (currently 1:4); would love honest takes on workload, pay, and benefits.
From my stint in a school-based clinic, volume was 10–16/day except flu spikes, with more coaching time if you negotiate 20–30 min slots and a daily cap — ask them to “put the cap and slot lengths in the offer letter,” plus clarify summer schedule/pay and whether there’s a weekly late clinic; pay ran about 5–10% lower but no weekends and Epic notes usually done by 5 (kids come in waves like the lunch bell). Quick step: review a sample schedule and metrics, and skim https://www.sbh4all.org for norms — what are they offering for call and summer coverage?
