Has anyone heard anything about NCCU's programs, like the BSN or ABSN programs? I tried to contact someone at the school but never received a reply and I also requested info through their website and still nothing (and Duke and UNC sent materials wit...

Hi - I'm curious to know how many research nurses are certified (CCRC). A friend of mine was talking to me about a job in Miami for a clinical research coordinator that's she's helping to recruit for and she asked me how many research nurses may hav...

Hi - I'm sorry you never received a response from anyone. I think I could help you. I work in research now and while I'm not a nurse (yet) I do work with research nurses. PM me if you still want/need help.

Hi Camren, Congrats on becoming a new grad! As someone who is working in research now (and has been a part of the research field since 2004) I can tell you that it is a job that can lead to great things for you with your clinical background; especia...

I'm thinking about taking an Anatomy & Physiology II (A&P2) course that is online for the lecture part and in person for the lab. So, I consider it a "hybrid". Does anyone recommend against taking A&P2 in this format? Is it better to be i...

Yes, I agree with other posters - - go for it! And don't forget the avenue of research. Another option with very little to no patient care and physical demands.

No, Durham Tech

Thanks for the feedback. I really don't know what to expect but I'm going to go for it. Hopefully the fact that I am very comfortable with the online format and extremely focused on getting an A will help me.

I feel your pain and frustration. It sounds similar to how I felt when I just couldn't take it anymore as a social worker. I switched to research and never looked back. So, my advice to you is to dust yourself off, do what you need to do to relieve ...

For every inspiration you've experienced to bring your life to your moment, you have now inspired others. We need more nurses in this world, like you, who are heart-driven and compassionate by nature.

My impression is that there could very well be other reasons why you did not get the position. If you want to know for sure though AND you genuinely want to advance to a role like that in the future for career reasons then you should ask the nurse ma...

Oh BTW, for anyone interested in breaking into research with a nursing background, look into academic environments and clinical research organizations (CROs) first as they often hire people with no prior research experience HOWEVER have the education...

I'm not sure if you're still interested in any responses since you posted months ago, but my two cents is that you are prepped and ready to enter into research. I think going into a research coordinator, clinical research coordinator or clinical rese...

Didn't have one but tore. It sounds like a definite problem though so I hope you get checked out. My issues post-partum came from a dislocated pelvis (ouch!) and severe abdominal muscle tears. I still look like I'm 4 to 5 months pregnant and my son i...

That's wonderful - I'm happy for you!

Yes the 1st poster is pretty accurate on compensation, at least in academia. Good luck!

Can anyone recommend any other schools in NC, besides Durham Tech, where one can take A&P II online? Or any of the typical science pre-reqs for the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill nursing schools? Thanks

I'm really sorry you have had such a hard time. Your message resonates with me because I'm not a new nurse job seeker, but I have been a job seeker in research for the past 6 months and I lost all hope, like yourself, about at the month 3 and 4 mark....

If I was in a management role like yourself I'd do my best to "clean house" - - meaning firing and hiring to replace the bad seeds and inject the good ones. I think your attitude to change the overall atmosphere from a negative one to a more positive...

Maybe this is the anxiety talking as you prepare for the NCLEX? I can't think of any other reason why after a BSN program of study you'd second guess yourself now. I think taking the career advice others have given so far may be good for you.

After reading your post I couldn't help but respond to you directly. I feel your pain through your words and I understand. I've been searching for a job since January (I'm not a nurse yet...on allnurses because I'm about 99% sure that I want to go ...

Hi - Funds through the CDC are currently supporting a national research effort into autism and ASD (autism spectrum disorders). If you're interested in working in research now I'd say do a search on autism and the CDC. Visit their website and browse ...

I'm not sure where you are but I would recommend that you network, network, and then network some more! It's key. Also, create some online profiles. Recruiters parse for talent using online sources more than ever today. So what does that mean? Make ...
