clinical research nurse coordinator

Published

I will be working as a Clinical Research Nurse Coordinator for a medical group in a few weeks. I would like to prepare for my job. Does anyone know of valuable professional or informational web sources that are applicable to this role? I would particularly like to know if there are any professional U.S. organizations specifically for people with this title. I will not be doing "nursing research", but rather assisting with medical research trials.

Thanks.

http://www.socra.org/ SOCRA is "the other" professional organization.:D CCRP vs. CRA/CRC.

CITI is an online training center that many facilities use as a base, followed by site specific training afterwards. https://www.citiprogram.org/Default.asp? CITI used to have a little manual with the Nuremberg Codes, pertinent CFRs, etc.. I'm not sure if they still offer it, but you could contact them, and see about a hardcopy or pdf.

Resurrecting the dead here, lol!

Thank you Rob72! I have saved these sites for when I start training. After my interview this morning, the HR director immediately called me back to set up a second interview with the Primary Investigator/Founder of the Clinical Research firm on Monday! I am so excited! :D

I'm so glad for allnurses.com! I have received a lot of information and resources from other nurses here, I can't thank this website enough.
