I did what most new grads would do, take the first job available. It was a fortunate opportunity to start off in the office. I do paper work and check to see what we're charting is true with the patient. Sort of quality control. I'm not on the floor. I do hang or start an IV every so often and assess someone if the charge is on break.... But I feel my skills are going to waste. Sure I check everyone's charting and put in care plans, but idk if it's for me. Should I just be glad I get to bypass standing on my feet? Just sort of confused if I'm losing out on floor experience.

I think it's a great idea to be working period, making your future job applications more attractive, vs. being unemployed and not gaining any experience.

Just not sure if I've got a good thing here since I have nothing to compare it too. Typing on a computer 6hours out of my day.

Is the pay comparable to a hospital or much less? And job hunt while working this job if you want to get to the bedside. It WILL take you 6-8 months minimum to get a bedside job, so just apply to them now and enjoy what you have now.
