I work in the GI (Gastroenterology) clinic.
After 38 years of bedside nursing, a back injury, I finally transferred over to a desk job. From 9:00 to 12:00, I check staff messages and carry out needed requests from said messages. Next thing is work on my hepatoma list which consists of 470 patients. Also, I cover phones or med-reviews. From 12:00 to 1:00, I call post-procedure patients from previous day. From 2:00 to 5:00, I continue with phones or med-reviews as they come in.
Here's the first step for college students
The first thing I did was become a nursing assistant at a hospital.
"It is a difficult job. There is no respect. You're a hand maiden to a doctor."
