Hi! Tips For Breaking In The Field

Hi,

How goes it? I am an LPN in the Jacksonville, FL area. I also have a BS in Psychology. I have suspected for awhile now that I just might really enjoy research nursing. However, how in the world do you break into this field? I rarely see open positions listed.

I have had 3 stats courses, carried out and participated in multiple research projects during undergrad, written proposals, etc. So, I am familar with how scientific research works. If any of you have a degree in psychology, you know that psychology is centered around research, research, research!

I would appreciate it a great deal if some of you would be kind enough to guide me in the right direction.

Thank you all very much.
