Physician's office Nurse

Published

I heard the going rate for working in a physician's office is $13hr. Any thoughts on that?:uhoh3:

Well, I wouldn't work for that. However, most physician's offices around here don't even use RNs, they only use LPNs and MAs, so it doesn't really matter in my case.

I do not know of any offices that hier nurses. They have Certified Medical Assistants. I went to school for a year to be a medical assistant and am certifed by the state in clinical work.(I am currently going back to school though). I have over three years of experience and I only make 9/hr and I am making more than others in my job because I am currently on call, which is a big help to them, and me for when summer breaks roll around. I just do not see why an office would need a nurse, don't waste your skills...

Specializes in heading for NICU.

Down here in Floirda I've heard about $15 an hour for RNs in offices. I know that some do only hire LPNs and MAs, however many also hire RNs but there might only be one in a whole office or maybe a couple in a large practice, especially OB/GYN offices. Generally the pay is a lot less, but you get the benefit of, no nights, weekends and Holidays so it's all about what you value most.

Specializes in ICU.

I made around $22 in the last office I worked in (2 years ago) as an RN but I was not just your typical "office nurse". I made rounds and did alot of telephone triage. I think it all depends on what experiance you have and how the Dr is utilizing your skills.

I'd love to work for a PS!! The only one close by has a terrible rep about how he treats his staff, though. :crying2:

That's not enough bucks to justify making up and doing my hair for.....Not many nurses in doc's offices around here...No-one wears name tags anymore so you never know.........
