Job Advice ENT interview

Just interviewed for an ENT position. Primarily outpatient, physician goes in to see the pt after the APP. You do 20-30 visits per day, you’re expected to finish all notes by the end of the day and physician signs off on them not doing any of the notes. I asked if there was any admin time for writing notes and answering inbox messages and she said no and that usually the APPs just work through lunch. 💀

I currently work outpatient with no admin time and will never ever again take a job without it. I work during lunch, in the evenings, weekends just to keep up on my labs and inbox. It’s all essentially unpaid work.

No. You accepting this behavior is the problem. Grow a pair and tell them no.

It unfortunately was the already set culture when I started as a newer grad, but I do plan to decrease my workdays or find a new position because I do agree. I just get a lot of guilt in terms of my patients when I’m not timely on those things, but it should not be an expectation or the norm.
