Ortho office?

I am an LPN and work in a very busy orhto clinic. We have 3 surgeons and 2 have LPNs as their nurses and one has a medical assistant as their main helper. We do everything from phone calls, scheduling surgery, applying cast and splints and setting up pts for joint injections. We also visit patients in the hospital post op and change dressings, discuss post op instructions and set up home health (all of this is done as part of the physicians care - it is all hospital approved and we are credentialed to do so). I worked in an OB/GYN clinic prior to this job and did not know the first thing about ortho. But I LOVE it now. Good Luck to your friend. She will learn and experience so much in this field.:)

So did your friend get a call back for an interview? I am almost positive this is the same job I interviewed for a few weeks back. It was a great position, the hiring manager seemed excited to interview with me b/c of my past experience. and the office being practically located down the street from me. I kinda bombed the interview with the actual doctor. I was still hopeful but unfortunately I did not get the job. I wish I knew why. They did ask for some references a few hours after the interview, then nothing for 3 weeks and then the rejection notice. It was a real bummer b/c I was told I was 1 of 3 top candidates and they weren't even going to bother interviewing anyone else from the large stack of resumes. Then the manager mentioned a few days after that they were going to have a second round of interviews. With who I don't know but definitely not with me. It's really sad, I know I may not have tons of experience but I am very capable and would have done a great job there. Oh well, what can you do...

In a few weeks,I would still check back. I took a position years ago that the selected candidate refused when she was offered the job.

Like you, I was told I was in one of the top (second) spots.

When I called back in 2 weeks to ask them to keep me on file in case another position came up, I was shocked to hear they were

about to call me as the other candidate declined the position.

Worked out well for me, I worked in that job for 7 years!
