I am a fairly new nurse I work in a Drs office I feel like I got low-balled on salary but I wanted to get into a hospital system. However now I'm doing administrative tasks like pre auths and lab results calls. I like all my co workers but I just feel I'm wasting away not using any of my skills. However I am scared to leave that mon-friday 9-5

You're right to be apprehensive about leaving a secure job with regular hours. If you really feel stifled, however, you should get serious about finding a position that might suit you better. You're in a good position, if you're looking for a job while you're employed you don't have to jump at the first offer that comes along.

I think it's pretty normal for your first job to not be the most fulfilling or exciting position. In fact, I think that's kind of universally true across industries. But now you're learning and gaining experience and you can leverage that to get a better, higher paying job in the future.

I too worked in a clinic and felt like I was loosing brain cells by the day. The work was so easy, non-challenging, and I was not able to work within my full scope of practice. On the other hand hospital work forces you to critically think and you are always on your toes. However, hospitals use and abuse their nurses and RARELY give decent raises. I enjoyed working as a clinic nurse and now that I have been a nurse for several years, I prefer it. Hospital nursing can be miserable, extremely faced-paced, and exhausting, but full of new experiences. Additionally, depending on the unit, you may have to work every other weekend, long unpredictable shifts, and holidays. The clinic is easy, you still learn alot administratively and you can hone in on certain disease processes. Think about where you want to end up, what’s most comfortable for you and then make a decision from there. You may also want to sign up to work in the hospital prn to see if you like it while keeping your clinic job. That way you get the extra money and see what the hospital environment is like . I would not discount the hospital experience, because you can go anywhere from there, but really weigh your options. I regretted leaving the clinic until I began working from home as an RN. Choose wisely and think about where you really want your career to go, before making a decision.

Hoping this will be helpful. When you want to move out of a 9:00 to 5 job., then I would advise you to take notice that temp agencies provide exactly exactly the schedule you're looking for. They also provide you benefits after a short period of time while working. They also provide you the opportunities to take on The ability to work for the entity you're currently working for as a temp because they see your great skills. They also train you while you're there to make sure you understand the job that you're taking on as a temp staff person. So they get to meet the real you and the real and your real abilities. So while you're there internally there's a great chance that you'll be working for them on a daily shift.
