Listen! Hear that quiet?!
So it's been almost 2 months since my transfer from rad/onc to surgery. I've said in the past that I'm doing alright at my new position, but I wasn't crazy about the work. The thing about this new position is that my opinion of it keeps changing, the longer I'm here.
At first I said I wasn't crazy about the work, but it made my day go by; for the most part, that hasn't changed. After the bulk of my registration work is done, which is actually early in the day, I have an amazing amount of "quiet" time to do my other work (which I enjoy) with virtually no interruptions. I don't have to answer any phones (maybe but rarely), and since we have a concierge, and I sit in a recessed corner, no patients come to talk to me/ask questions, so I find myself able to do a certain quality of work I'd never experienced before (as well as, I have time to post on my LJ =/ ...k, maybe I shouldn't count that as a plus hehe).
I do a certain amount of payment posting, working holds, verifying insurances, getting auths, etc., and it is so nice to just sit at my desk and DO IT w/o a million interruptions. I can even listen to my iPod while I'm doing it. I was worried when I came here that all my "freedoms" I enjoyed in rad/onc would be gone, but I have so much more freedom here than I ever expected!
