I work in an office and I chart all my phone calls with patients. The only exception to that would be, for example, if someone is calling because they know their appointment is on Tuesday, but forgot what time they are supposed to be there. However...
ldt1010, I would love a list like that! Would you mind telling what you specifically include on that list? I've told her to watch out for a few things, but I'm worried that I might be missing something.
I work in a new physician's office and really enjoy it. The only other staff member is a receptionist. She's really good at what she does, but has no medical training. The other day she was scheduling a patient and I heard her say, "Okay, you have...
caliotter3, thanks for the advice. I've been at the job for about a month and a half and I really like it. Since I'm the only clinical person in the office, I have a surprising amount of nursing and administrative duties. It's a lot of fun and I ...

I am a new LPN who wants to work in a physician's office. Very few physician's offices advertise openings for nurses in my area. They all seem to like paying MAs to do similar jobs for less pay. So, I recently applied for a job as a medical assist...
Thanks for all the advice. Well, the office manager called me the other day and said that they gave the job to someone else that morning - After they had officially offered the position to me! Rather than stating my lack of experience, she said that ...
I am a brand new LPN and I just got offered a job in an OB GYN office. I'm really excited about it, but I know there's a lot I will need to learn. I will be the only nurse at the office, so I won't have a mentor. I was wondering if any of you coul...
It is a great program. Don't try to work or do anything else for the year. Tell your family members to start cooking meals and cleaning the house. Take out all the loans you need. Just focus on the school and you'll graduate smart. Good luck!
