RN thinking of working in dermatology officeRating: (votes: 1) I worked as a medical assistant in a dermatology office. Way before becoming a nurse. I did not inject anesthesia, but I did assist with biopsies. Nothing to it. Especially for an RN. I handed instruments to the doctor, took back used ones, cut the suture lines when she was finished suturing. Used a Q Tip with Monsel's solution to non-sutured biopsy sites or used a Q tip with Polysporin and put on a band-aid. Gave pt's info on post biopsy care. Removed simple sutures at follow up appts. (Not complex sutures like for facial MOH's surgery though). You will honestly have no problem doing this job. And I'm actually surprised they are using an RN for this position as it could easily be done (with exception of injecting the anesthetic) by an MA. I hope you don't get bored!Best of luck Comment:
those are about the easiest procedure one could hope for, you spend one day training and I am confident you can do this. good luck
