Re: LPN role in Clinical Research
Most of the research jobs in nursing involve more extended education than LPN. Not knocking LPNs, believe me! I LOVE YA'LL! I've learned more from them than other RNs on the floors, believe me!
But all the research jobs in my area (with huge, metro teaching hospitals and med schools attached) require a BSN at least.
Sorry. Hope this helps in some way. There's always the exception. You might could be useful in helping an associate gather some data for the research. Call a university of medicine/teaching hospital and/or go online and inquire thru human resources or they could maybe point you in the correct direction insofar as finding out the information you seek. Good luck.
