My mom has no complaints and says it works out well. I was surprised because it sounds like a bad idea but I guess it can work out.
netglow, ASN, RN 4,412 Posts Aug 27, 2011 Well, she wasn't there. But it went very good. I was the first interview. I am not experienced in that specialty but, he WANTS to teach me. It's highly technical and I will eventually have a lot of responsibility. What I especially liked is that he was very interested in seeing my other resume of my life prenursing. Nobody has cared before him and my old life is what makes me what I am today (so I almost ).Just have to wait and see if he likes any of the others he sees better. One good sign was that he was a thinker/mumbler type. He was trying to figure out how he could arrange a meeting with the other docs ASAP.
netglow, ASN, RN 4,412 Posts Aug 27, 2011 Oh and about the other nurse, he told me the circumstances of her leaving. It's sensible (without giving too much out). He also told me the correct amount of time she had been working there. :)

Having a doc that wants to teach+being interested in your other work=great. Keep us updated. Crossing my fingers for you! :)

It's easy for all of us to pipe in with our concerns but it could be the time that it works. You have some life experience so your "gut" will likely serve you well. Good luck to you.
juzme 124 Posts Aug 30, 2011 The fact that she felt a need to mention it during the initial call which was brief would raise a red flag for me.haha...I was thinking the exact same thing!!!!
Guest717236 1,062 Posts Aug 30, 2011 If you want experience in that specialty, and the MD is willing to teachyou and you feel the job is a good opportunity==hope he offers it to you soon~!Good luck and keep us posted~
netglow, ASN, RN 4,412 Posts Oct 10, 2011 OMG I forgot to update all of you, after you all gave your great perspectives!Weeeeeeellllllll? I shadowed (everybody needs to do this!!!!) and, I declined. I have private practice experience (admin), and this one had so many fundamental issues - too many to list, just in basic routine, not even mentioning clinical. I would love to dish, and tell you just to get all the responses, but, I know I can't. The wife was not really the root of the situation, at least not with me, but the lack of her admin edu/exp did contribute to their global function/productivity problems IMHO. She just didn't know what she didn't know. The MD teaching part? Didn't see that ever happening either, and it would have been essential.So, I guess I have to add to the negative poll results. Too bad. I firmly recommend to all. SHADOW, SHADOW, SHADOW it's the only way to go.
