VA CBOC position open - questions

[pooshx2]

There is a position open at a VA CBOC near me. CBOC = community based outpatient clinic. The position requirements are 2 years RN with medical surgical experience. I only have ICU experience. What kind of patients do you see in a clinic, what are your duties, etc? I am interested in this position but I have to have everything turned in within 7 days and would like some feedback about pt's and acuity/illness things you deal with daily. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

See if you can job shadow before applying. It's less acuity than ICU. If it is clinic it will be like family practice. You'll phone triage, call in scripts, pt teaching, and probably checking in the patients. The recruiter can tell you exactly what the job entails. If it is outpt surgery. That's a different story. Could be urgent care? Hmmmm.

It is a outpatient clinic, so it is like working in a civilian doctors office
