Help! Applying for Internal Med!

Hi Everyone! I am applying for a job in an Internal Med department. I have 4 years of nursing under my belt- but all in Allergy and ENT. Are there any Internal Med nurses out there that can give me some idea of what you do all day? :) Do you assist in procedures? Are you giving injections? Are you rooming patients? Thanks in advance!

I'm *guessing* that by Internal Med, you are referring to a department within a specific medical practice?

If so, please realize that all medical practices are set up differently. The only folks who can answer your questions would be those who have experience with the actual practice at which you're looking.

Depends on the office. IM a float between mainly primary care/internal med, urgent care, and rheumatology. In primary/internal med the nurses mostly do a combo of case management, phone triage, hospital follow up calls, injections, teaching, and answering pt questions/messages. In our offices, the medical assistants do most of the assisting w procedures and the rooming Except in rheumatology and urgent care, our nurses only room when MAs are short. Its a lot of desk work- phone, email, computer messages- at least in our offices.

Hello! Yes, I am referring to what our clinic calls "Internal Medicine", but I think I've heard it called "General Medicine" too maybe? I didn't even realize it might not be understood by all nurses. Thank you for your help.
