doctors office

I'm not sure what kind of doctor's office you'll be working at or where you are at. BUT I work at a peds office, which is awesome. I make $18.75 an hour with great benefits. I would ask about orientation. My entire orientation lasted 5 hours. with one full day of classroom stuff. Godd luck with everything.

Aimee,

I live in Alabama. Are you an LPN or RN? I have thought about a dr. office job, but I didn't know the pay, or if they hire RN's.:heartbeat

2006RNCS:

I'm a RN. I work in an office that is associated with Children's hospital. This office only hires RNs. We do phone education stuff a lot, so they like the RN to be there. I've only worked there a week, so my pay is BASE pay. It is about a dollar less than what I made at the hospital. The work is so much better. I stay very busy, but the atmosphere is great. It is also nice that everyone helps each other. If I can help anymore, let me know.

Thanks for the reply Amy. I am really considering a dr. office job. I think it would be so much easier on me and my family. No more third shift jobs for me! Thanks again, and good luck with your new job!!:heartbeat

Peds nurse in a Doc's office and LOVING it:yeah:

I make $23 an hour, love my families and doctors, help out wherever I can, stay busy but don't have to CONSTANTLY have my license on the line. The drawback is that I don't do IVs or draw blood. I am joining the Air Force Reserve to keep my training in all things and I think it will be a great balance between career and family- I am a single mom with no family nearby- but good friends that help when I need them.I'll let you know how it works out, but fresh out of nursing school the $45k sign on bonus is calling to me pretty strongly. If I get deployed it is for 4 months and my son goes with me to Germany which he is excited to do. Any questions I would be happy to answer. Good luck!

I have an interview at a pedi office next week?

This is my first interview for an RN position and I will be interviewing with the Dr himself.

any advice? what questions should I ask? What should i be prepared to answer?

Thanks for you help in advance!

Ask how many patients each doctor sees daily, this can give you a heads up on how chaotic the office may be and how through the patient care is. Ask who handles the pre-authorizations and referrals (hopefully not you) as they can be extremely frustrating and time-consuming. Find out how they handle walk-in patients and if they are computerized. Check the benefits carefully; find out how much your health insurance will be (in some small offices it can be astronomical) and through which company.
