Looking to talk to a research nurse please!

Published

I have an interview coming up, and my other post did not receive any responses. Im looking to find out what your day looks like as a research nurse. This job was advertised as nurse for clinical research coordinator (office setting), no other description. I would appreciate your help! I am a LPN who has not worked as a nurse yet (do have medical background though).

Hi cmm4ever, you may have had your interview already, if not good luck ! my day consists of screening according to whatever protocols I've been allocated to, following potential patients, networking, locating patients, giving out information, answering queries, taking consent, venepuncture, maybe centrifuging bloods, collecting and transferring data, anticipating the next phase, - I could go on - its great job it really is, needs someone who is used to autonomy, uses initiative and can think on their feet and still practice within protocol and the law.

let us know how you got on

What if I have a bachelors in biochemistry and am interested in entering clinical research... Would it be beneficial for me to pursue a nursing program? Or would I just need a phlebotomy certificate or something like that and that would be a tool I can attain for collections? How is clinical research like if you are a nurse versus non-nurse? I love learning about new medical advancements and the science involved in pharmacology... But it all protocol and data collection as I've heard? Which route would lend to more creativity, career advancement and a decent work schedule with kids?
