I'm wondering if anyone has every worked (or currently works) as a pre-admission testing NP? I'm thinking about leaving family practice and found a job listing for pre-admission testing. I heard it's a decent job... I have the description copied below, but wanted to know what others with similar work experience felt about this type of work.

Thanks in advance!
