by equestriRN Dec 13, '12Hello all,
I have about 1.5 years experience working in the ED, with about 10 months as an RN. I was recently offered a position in Emergency Medicine Research as a Research Coordinator. The research director assured me that nurses are extremely capable of acting as research coordinators because it is all about communication, which we are innately good at. I'm still nervous, though.
I will be transitioned into my new role by the outgoing CRC in January, so I don't feel like I am going to be thrown to the wolves. But I am hoping that other research nurses can help me get an idea of what to expect in this position.
The current studies include asthma, COPD, and a-fib presentations in ED and whether PCP followup can reduce them.
Is there anything you could share that would help me get a better idea of your day-to-day work routine, what you are responsible for, and how you know if you are doing a good job?
Thank you!
Print and share with friends and family.

Dec 27, '12 by All4NursingRNsounds sweet! wow I'm an ED nurse who just transitioned to research nursing. I never new there were positions for ED research, that's great! sorry I'm new to research myself so I don't have any advice yet, but I think you'd love it!
Do you mind me asking where are you located? I never knew there was such a position. - Dec 28, '12 by equestriRNThanks, I will be working for a major Canadian university. I found the job through their website. If you are looking for a similar opportunity, I would suggest looking to see what centers are doing emergency med research in your area and following up from there
