What in the world is OPIC?

[StacyC417]

Alright, so I did something pretty stupid, and applied for a position in a *mystery* department. I just got a call back today for an interview on Friday, and figured I better get an idea of what I'm in for before I head up there. The hours are perfect for me (8 to 6:30 4days a week), and it's a unit clerk/CNA position, which is what I want, but I don't want to be stuck in a cruddy department. Sooo, does anyone know what OPIC stands for?

Thanks,

Stacy

Woo Hoo!...One of my girlfriends (who works in the same hospital) knows what it stands for...It is OutPatient Infusion Center (as in cancer treatment)!

Stacy, I'm glad you found that out...I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to sleep tonight, thinking of all the possibilities! :rotfl:

Well now that that is out of the way, sounds like they want you to be ward clerk, CNA, stock clerk, and a few other things all wrapped into one. Make sure they are going to pay you for all those positions, because if they werent i wouldnt take it. Good grief,, sounds like they have about 5 positions wrapped into one. What a money saver!!!

We have a couple of unit clerks that double as patient care techs. They may be a PCT on one shift and a unit clerk on another but they never function as both at the same time.

I would agree with finding out how much you are going to be paid. In your job description it said transcribing doctor reports and that is the job of a med. transcriptionist. It sounds like a huge undertaking to perform all those tasks. Make sure you find out every detail and how much they are paying.
