Interview with a pain clinic- red flags?

[Rocketeer]

Hi all, I am a new grad and I have an interview soon for an ambulatory surgery/pain management clinic. The hours are great, the guy seemed very positive on the phone, and this could be a real opportunity. However, in researching the facility online, I found bad reviews- mainly complaints about wait times, rude doctors, etc. I already know some pain clinics have a bad rap, and now I have concerns about this job.

Can anyone give me some key questions to ask in an interview that would raise red flags? What is the most diplomatic way to ask about poor patient satisfaction? What should a newbie nurse watch out for in one of these clinics? Thanks!

In my humble opinion, any place that is labled a "pain clinic" is a red flag in and of itsself.

I have to ask....why?

I see a neurologist that also is a specialist on pain, so before I enlighten I love to know your viewpoint, before I share my positive experiences with pain management. :)
