Hello all,I am starting a new job at a community clinic next week and am super excited and nervous. I guess you can technically call me a new grad but not really- I worked as a flu clinic nurse for 6 months and this will be my first legit RN job. I am not really sure what to expect and am hoping someone working in a clinic could tell me what their job is like, whether they like it and any advice on what to brush up on before my first day. Thank you so much!!

adriannami 14 Posts Dec 20, 2014 Hey! It's good!! It's not exactly what I expected but I still really like it. It's a lot of documentation. I'm by the computer most of the time. Making phone calls, triaging through the phone, refilling prescriptions. But there is also education involved. Are you looking go into a community clinic?
TeachertoBSN 2 Posts Dec 20, 2014 I am interested in working in a community clinic. I have an interview on Monday for immunization/preventative care in one of the local health departments. Any tips on the interview process?

I'm unsure which path is better for me, I'm graduating in May. I have a BS in Health Education though and a passion for prevention, nutrition, and I'm fluent in Spanish.
