A day in the life of an nurse in a Doctor office

I just recently left a doctors office. I am an LPN and worked with a nurse practioner and a Dr. They were husband and wife! I did like it, but I can tell you that for me it was very stressful. I was the only LPN and there was a MA that worked with me also. I was in charge of triage, rooming patients, calling in rx, writing rx, updating meds, going through reports to pick out the most important ones, preparing the charts to make sure everything was there for the next day, do testing in the office. I did live almost an hour and a half away from my job so i would work from 8-5:30 depending on patient load, sometime later. My life revolved around thier scheduele. If they had a full sched. could not be off. Worked with strep throat and only took three hours of sick time!!!! I went back to Long Term Care and am doing Restorative nursing. I think long term care is less stressful. But again it depends on who you work for!!

Hey, I was thinking the same thing...I hope that the job is a plush, pleasent place to work, because the money doesn't sound like an incentive to me.

I am also an LPN that works in a hospital clinic. Similar things are done, except that we have PCAs that primarily room and do vitals, although we help them when they are behind. We have as many as 20 providers; about 8 attendings, and various levels of residents. The RNs do triage, and are the team leaders in my large clinic. I think I prefer working in a hospital clinic than private, but that is because I haven't worked in one, and also, I get paid more and have benefits compared to those that work privately.

RNKatePSU--hey, i noticed in a post of yours u used to work at LRMC (germany). Im stationed here w/my spouse & lookn for RN jobs either in LRMC or Ramstein clinics. Whats the best way of going about lookn for jobs there (besides posting resumes at usajobs or cpol)? Any area in either "hospital", like HR, that would know of openings not posted online? Thanks

I am also interested in working in a doctors office (OBGYN, Peds, etc). But am not sure if it is a place for a New Grad RN like myself? What do you think?
