Oncology clinical research nurses! question for ya

As a former cancer patient, and now a new oncology RN (8months out of school) on an inpatient heme/onc floor, I have a special place in my heart for all things onc! However, I am finding inpatient care very difficult. I think it's a difficult place to be for anyone; but as a former patient, I get really emotionally drained from seeing people die every week. I love my patients and families, and teaching them all about their disease and especially about their treatment. I love this aspect of nursing. I literally just started trying to look into other options, and all of a sudden my oncologist has told me that his team is looking for a clinical research nurse at the outpt. clinic where I was treated and he basically offered me the job. What perfect timing! After looking into it a bit, I think it's something I would love! I work with a lot of research protocols now, especially with my BMT patients, so I am not totally new to research, but I just want to know if there are other onc CRN's out there that can tell me: what is the job is really like!?! Thanks in advance!
