I work in an OB/GYN clinic

Here is what I may do in a day

Take newly pregnant patient history

Pregnancy education, lots of that

Fetal monitoring, usually 10 patients in a day

Blood draws

Lots of vaccines HPV flu etc

Staple removal once a week or so

At least 20-30% of my day is doing phone triage

Lots of birth control education and helping patients make choices

Pregnancy test

hmmmm

it sounds simple once i write it all down but i must say I am usually running around 10 hours straight!

Its good work if you can find it
