Just offered job in a GYN office as an LPN

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I am a new grad (LPN) about to start a new job in a gynecology office. (No OB). I have had very little gyn experience as our local facilities would not allow students while they were getting their new EMR software. so sadly we missed out on a lot of clinical rotations. anyhoo, I interviewed with the dr. and she loved me, even though she would have to start from scratch with me. so i got the job!

I am very excited and nervous. Does anyone have any recommendations on websites or books that i can start studying up on GYN procedures and equipment etc.

Thanks in advanced!

I don't know any website or books but if they are a good clinic they will teach you as you go. I worked in a family practice clinic and did some gyn procedures. Every provider does things a little bit different and want the nurse to do things just a bit different. You will learn by doing.

Congrats on the new job!
