Summer Work

[kmn5091]

I am looking at trying to jet a job in a family practice or pediatrician's office this summer. Obviously it would just be a job assisting around the office. Therefore, I am going to contact larger family or pediatric offices as they might be more likely to hire someone for that. Any ideas of what I could offer to do? I thought about probably taking patient information and keeping the exam rooms stocked. Looking for other ideas that I could offer. I am very interested in this as I want to get practical experience and strictly volunteering is not an option as I need to have some cash on hand throughout the year (I am entering my senior year of undergrad, not for a BSN but in biology/biochemistry as I plan on hopefully doing a direct entry MSN). If I had to chose between regular family practice or pediatrics, I would love to do pediatrics as I love children (I substitute teach part time throughout the school year too). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure that these family practices would be willing to take on more salary in order to do something that volunteers can do. I would suggest looking into a caregiver role at an LTC or assisted living facility. That will give you a much nicer looking resume because you will actually be performing patient care.

LOL - so you're really keen on contracting every virus you can during the summer??? Kids are walking 'germ bags', & pediatric practices are ground zero so get prepared. Stock up on your OTC meds. (voice of experience here)
