I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on what it is like working in a methadone clinic as a LPN?
There is currently a position available near me that is 20 hours a week. When I contacted them they said it was Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with one Saturday a month. It begins at 5 a.m. in the morning. I am currently working in LTC on a Baylor weekend shift. I would like to find something else, but in all honesty don't want to jump out of the "proverbial" frying pan into the fire lol.
So... any info from more seasoned nurses would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
hi there! I just got hired at a clinic myself, but my "shadow day" was the chance for me to see what I liked and potential dislikes about it. I personally loved it! LTC is awful. I cannot help anyone in LTC when management has too many rules! lol
anyway, for me, the pay at the clinic is HIGHER, the hours are BETTER, and its a different kind of stress.
