Anyone work at Planned Parenthood? If you do, do you like it?

I must add that I am into community/public health and community outreach. I know people in the past have mentioned that finding a job after might be hard if I ever looked elsewhere. But, I am into the fields of community/public health and also, mental health/substance abuse/detox. So, that being said...fire away.

Pock, I know there aren't nursing jobs in my area at PP. Do you think they would take a nurse for a health center assistant? I called and left a message today with PP about that. But, maybe you know?

PP does fall under public health (very similar to what the health dept does in terms of STIs/women's health/pregnancy.) PH, in general, does not pay as much as a hospital. I am okay with that. I can take another part time evening job, if I need supplemental work.

And yep, I chose this job despite having two other offers with significantly higher pay. I had to stay prn at my LDRP RN job to make ends meet. I am not afraid to admit that abortion work is a calling for me, and PP is a very mission-driven organization. It's pretty amazing to work within an organization that is truly committed to its purpose. We had our biennial clinician conference today and so I am particularly inspired at the moment!

What was the pay?

I can only speak to what it was in Denver in 2010 when I was offered a job - it was around $5-6/hour less than hospitals were paying at that time. I'm thinking around $24/hour?

Hi, all! Nursing student here! I'm looking around the boards to learn about different work environments. I'm curious about the work that RNs do for PP -- would anyone be willing to describe a "day in the life" for an RN working for PP?

Also: how do you see your role changing in the coming years?

Wishing you all stay happy and healthy during the COVID-19 crisis <3
