Feedback:
The nurse's most important question to ask is what specific duties will the position require the nurse to perform because an office nurse may provide nursing care to patients and other staff handle the other tasks of an office, or the nurse may have a wide gamete of tasks to perform, including desk reception, scheduling appointments, obtaining labs and specimens, helping the physician, or collecting payments for the visit.
