Getting the Office RN position

I recently discovered that hospital nursing is NOT for me, and I would prefer to do something more like office or clinic nursing. I have 4 months OB nurse experience and have applied into several office and clinic positions.

One in particular, at an OB office, I am extremely interested in for several reasons. I have already had an interview with the nurse manager, and am supposed to be being contacted soon for a meeting with the doctor who started the practice. I know it will be another interview. I hate interviews because I feel like it's a competition that I usually never win. My OB position, I knew the hiring manager, which is why I think I got the position. Every other position, I cannot seem to get passed the last interview.

I really want and could almost say NEED this position. Any advice on how to "WOW" the doctor or tips for meeting with doctors?

    Learn as much as you can about the role and then come prepared to speak about what skills you have that would benefit that role.

    Good luck with your interview. PP has offered great advice. Physicians are most likely to be interested in your knowledge of A&P, emergency responses, etc.... Be sure to offer examples of relevant experiences whenever you have a chance to do so.

    I'm sure you have already investigated this, but it's important to realize that salaries and career growth for physician-employed nurses is not so great. Everything will revolve around the doc's schedule - including remaining late whenever appointments drag on into the evening. It will be difficult to get time off for continuing education or vacations that don't coincide with the doc's time off. The longer you are away from acute care, the more impossible it will be to get back in.
