hi all, im new to this site - i am in a very unique situation...i have searched relevant threads and the common response to "adn or lpn or rn?" is that it depends on your career goals / overall outcome education: ba biology (2005), socra ccrp (certified clinical research proffessional) experience: past 4 years working in clinical research for the (1 yr academic cancer center, 3 in big pharma- all in oncology) current: clinical trial manager in oncology for a big pharma company. situation i am in a very good position career wise, but have always regretted not following my instinct to pursue clinical patient care:nurse:. due to financial & personal obligations (bought a house in june = crazy mortgage), i am unable to return to school full time. (personal training & nutrition/wellness coach part time to get my "fix":)) however, my company is in the midst of an acquisition, so there is a lot of change to come - one major change being we will most likely be working remotely from our homes- which means flexibility (ie potential to return to school). goals: clinical research proffessional full time- per diem practicing nurse (in place of the personal training!) gain clinical insight and knowledge to be able to better communicate with nurses and doctors re: elligibility, dose modifications, dlts, procedures, design, endpoints, safety parameters, etc... provide better quality comments on protocol/icf & database development , safety review, etc..to my medical team transition to a medical/safety position in the industry question given my background, goals, current employment status, and financial obligations- which nursing program would i be best suited for? i truly appreciate your time and welcome feedback - even criticism- i welcome it all:d kind regards, christina
