Doctor's Office Nursing Positions?

[Shadow31]

I am a New Grad BSN and also new to the Boston area. I have been looking for employment for some time now and am considering medical offices. In my searches: Monster, Career Builder, Craigs List, etc., I have not notice any Dr.s offices looking for staff (RNs). Where do these offices advertise for their openings? Any suggestions on where to look?

Thanks.

Congrats on your graduating! I have been in nursing for 30 years and have worked in both hospital and office settings. The hospital gives you a good starting point to learn so much especially if you work medical or surgical floor. Due to my husband being gone so much (he was in coaching) I had to find a job with weekends and holidays off . I started working in a surgical office and even though the pay is low it was nice to have the set schedule and flexibility. You also get almost free health care and have access to samples the docs can give you.

Problem is that most offices now hire MAs not nurses. It is a scary situation since some of the MAs have little experience with sterile technique or infection control. The best place for me to find the jobs was the newspaper or through contacts. Apply to the offices you might be interested in. You mightnot hear from them right away but they might keep you in mind for the future.

Good luck.

The only place the requires nurses are clinics located in hospitals. Usually they hire LPNS. Look up Harvard Vanguard they usually have plenty of RN openings.
