Thanks so much!

As an outsider, I've gotta say this was a good read. I'd love to work in a doctors office, and I know this much. Alas, I'd obviously prefer the standard pay of LPN vs. a CMA. So, knowing i want to work in a doctors office, which route makes more sense?

I don't want to work in a long term care facility/hospital or a retirement community. Does it generally takes years of experience to land a job at a doctors office? Could I possibly start out at one? Thanks in advance!

Hello all. Upon doing some preliminary research, I see that I'll have to deal with a plethora of different environments in "clinicals," which are generally 6 weeks long. I can deal with just about anything for six weeks, so I'm not worried about that. My concern is about where I'll have work post graduation-is it true that you generally have to work in a hospital for years to build up a resume to then explore other opportunities, like a family medicine environment? Ideally that is where I would like to be-a university clinic, walk in, etc. The fast pace of the hospital is something I could deal with for short periods of time in clinicals, but it's not where I want to be for life. Is it unrealistic to think I could land a slower pace job at a walk in clinic or something similiar post graduation? What are most real world options once you get your RN? Thanks so much for your time.
