Position Description

Published

Specializes in CCU/ Tele.

I am doing a position description for my NP program which involves me making my own job description for the position that I would like to have when I finish school.

I would like to work for an internal medicine doctor but I don't know the answers to some important questions::wink2:

What are the work hours? Including call?

Who are you responsible to? Who are you responsible for?

What will you fiscally be responsible for? To who and what will you delegate?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
