Is it any fun working in a doctors office as an RN? Or something along those lines

Published

Just wondering.. I think I would like it. After reading that story about a girl who just got licensed as an RN getting HIV her first month of working really opened my eyes. Is it worth it?? That's just so scary to me! Or is there any way that I don't have to take blood lol.. It doesn't gross me out, but goodness my life would be so ruined if I got pricked by a bad needle on accident :crying2:

I love my job at a community health center! I have a ton of freedom, get to do a lot of patient teaching, dressing changes, suture removal, immunizations, coumadin clinic, routine sick visits like UTI's, flu swabs, and sore throats, etc. My favorite part is knowing that my assessment skills and patient teaching help keep our clients OUT of the hospital.

I agree. It definitely is primary prevention: health promotion, disease prevention. How long have you been in ambulatory care nursing?
