Working as a L.P.N. in a OB/Gyn Office

While I was going to school to get my LPN, I worked in L&D as a CNA. I can just say, bone up on your female anatomy, disease processes and issues concerning females ages 13 on up. I will say that I did enjoy working there and I did learn a lot and the doctors were nice people. Make sure you are organized, that is one thing that my docs hated was people that didn't have their sh*t together. And you have to have a sense of humor. GOOD LUCK to you.

I worked for a multiple (9) doc practice in OB/GYN as my first job out of school for about 8 months. What I remember most is needing to be fast on my feet because they were seeing anywhere from 25 to 35 pts/day and you generally had to be in the exam room with them to assist with any procedure, such as colposcopy or uro-dynamic or just doing plain old pap/pelvic exams.

We had a telephone triage system in place that we worked one or two days a week, depending on the need that day. I had excellent training and great co-workers.

You'd be surprised at what you learn about the female body and what some women will do with it!!

The real joy is when your OB pts bring their little ones back to see you!

Hope this helps a little
