Does this sound too pretty?

No one answered/had any advice on my previous post yesterday, but I went for my interview and it went very well, office manager said she'll be calling me to come back and interview with the physicians. The job is an infusion nurse at a rheumatology clinic. This may sound dreadfully boring to some, but after years of critical care and switching to the most mind-numbing job in the world (cardiology clinic nurse who only gives patient care ~10% of the time), it seems like a good fit for my 33 year-old self.

Here's the rundown on the clinic:

-Hospital-affiliated

-Two rheumatologists

-Busy clinic in small office, but in the process of physician recruitment

-Once 2 additional MDs and 1-2 mid-levels are hired, hospital will build new office with infusion center

-Low turnover and apparently the morale is quite high

The job:

-Sole infusion nurse, meaning if I get sick, have family emergency, etc., patients must be rescheduled

-Schedule patients, follow labs, order IV meds, monitor patients during infusions, educate patients on medications and disease process

-Monday through Thursday, 7a-5p

-All bank holidays off

-Office manager said they may have two days out of the year when drug reps do not bring lunch (nice!)

Can anyone throw out some potential red flags for taking a job at this kind of practice? I really don't want to me naive about taking a job that just looks pretty.

Thanks.

Well, as long as you realize it, you aren't being naive.

Enjoy your free lunches.

Well I love infusion so this sounds great. Make sure you will have a bit of a say in the available supplies, If you are better with a certain type of IV cannula make certain it is there. Make sure they have heat packs too. Remember that if you are having repeated problems with access with a particular patient save the grief and get them a port. You will also be able to make your own teaching material if you like though the drug companies you work with have great teaching material. I seem to be on every infusion and IV medication mailing list and the rheumatology literature I get is really good. good luck sounds fun.
