What Kind of Specialty and What Do You Do?

I've worked in both office and hospital settings. Just like an inpatient nurse, the outpatient/office nurse has opportunities to work in a variety of specialties.

As a sort of fun post (as well as gaining knowledge for those interested in office nursing), what kind of office do you work in, and what do you do on a daily basis?

I used to work in a dermatology clinic years ago, and I learned so much and had a great experience working there. I did a lot of patient teaching, administered treatments, drew labs, assisted the physician with specific interventions, and handled other administrative duties (front desk, telephone, scheduling, patient charts, insurance, lab results, sterilizing instruments, stocking rooms, all in all making sure the office ran smoothly) .
