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.
Comment on I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV.

Yeah, but you’d have to live in Dickson, which isn’t great.

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.

$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.

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.
