Plastic surgery office nurses?


I'm an R.N. in an Ob-Gyn's office. He recently opened a 2nd satellite office in a nearby, but more rural area. He is interested in bringing in a 2nd doctor, who happens to be a plastic surgeon. They would share the 2 offices, each having office hours opposite of each other. He wants to do this to save money on office space rent and employee salaries. Ideally, for them, they would share employees. He mentioned the plastic surgeon would need someone, preferably a nurse, who would "counsel" the potential plastic surgery patient about the proposed surgery he recommends, talk about price and recovery, and ultimately "make the sale" of the surgery. The doctor would then give a % of the "sale" to the nurse or employee. My initial feeling is that I do not want to do this. I do not want to sell plastic surgery. I am not a sales person, I am a nurse. Do any of you out there do anything like this? What is it like?

sounds interesting. do they give an employee discount. ;P

I don't know if I could sell plastic surgery either, perhaps reconstructive surgery, but I couldn't be like 'hey, your nose doesn't quite fit your face, its too big. I think we can fix it if you sign here.'....nah, not for me.

anyone have a job like this, how is it really?
