I'm very interested in working for Planned Parenthood or a similar clinic after I graduate from nursing school. I'm going to see if I can shadow a PP nurse in the next month, so in the meantime I thought I'd ask some questions of current and former PP nurses. -What did a typical day look like for you? What were some duties that you performed on a regular basis? -How much training did you get when you started? -What was the most challenging aspect of this job? -What did you find to be the most rewarding aspect of this job? -What was the work environment like (especially compared to an acute care setting)?* -If you worked in a clinic that performed abortions, how many of these procedures did you assist with per day and what were your duties? -What is the hourly wage for an RN in your area and what kind of benefits do they offer? *I'm especially interested in answers to this question because, over the course of my clinical rotations, I've become disillusioned with the hospital environment. I just want to note that I have no intention of ever working in a hospital as an RN. Whenever I say this, I always get the "you should get 2 years of bedside experience" spiel, but I've already made my decision to avoid acute care.
