  1. Recruitment

    anc33 replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Research

    It depends on your protocol, IRB, phase, etc. In phase I, healthy subject research we would advertise or draw from our subject database. In my current position, phase I-III oncology research, we...

  2. Advanced degrees for researchers

    anc33 replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Research

    I think you need to actually get your feet wet before deciding on an advanced degree. I do know research coordinators that are NPs however they do not utilize their advanced nursing skills very...

  3. CRC salary in academia

    anc33 replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in Research

    At my institution new research RNs are paid anywhere from $40-55K depending on department. I have been in clinical research for the majority of my nursing career so I have no clue how much more I...

    anc33 replied to Hollyrobyn's topic in Public, Community Health

    Also, you it will probably be a group interview. I think 6 people from different departments participated in my interview. Mostly behavioral question but a few questions pertaining to the dept's pt...

  5. OCN Review advice please!

    anc33 replied to janellewhalen's topic in Oncology

    The study guide was definitely the most helpful thing. I started reviewing 2 months before the test. In general the questions were very similar. Maybe slightly easier than the book. I felt like...

  6. advice needed re: job opportunity

    anc33 replied to southlandrn's topic in Research

    Did they give you any indication as to the responsibilities associated with the position. Would be do all of the contracts/budgets, regulatory and clinical coordination? Do they have support...

  7. Sticky question

    anc33 replied to Kingbandit's topic in Research

    I don't think that enrolling a patient into a QOL study (for example) and a drug study simultaneously is an issue unless is it expressly forbidden in one of the protocols. Even if participation was...

  8. How many new grads changed jobs within 1 year

    anc33 replied to ThanksForAllTheFish!'s topic in General Nursing

    I left my first job after 9 months. I actually loved working on my floor. I had good relationships with the other RNs, the docs and the patients. While I felt competent, the patient assignments...

  9. did UF cancel rn-bsn

    anc33 replied to hot chocolate's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, UF has suspended the RN-BSN program indefinitely due to state budget

  10. Sticky question

    anc33 replied to Kingbandit's topic in Research

    30 days is usually standard practice but participation in other studies should be addressed in your protocols. If you are doing drug studies you definitely need to make sure that there is a washout...

  11. Ocala and surrounding area questions??

    anc33 replied to USA RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Did you have any luck with your job search? If you don't need benefits and want good pay look into the OPS positions at the state correctional facilities. Starting pay is $29 which is better than the...

  12. Oncology nurses - research / clinical trials

    anc33 replied to Nurse Man-ingitis's topic in Oncology

    I work as a study coordinator for solid tumor trials. As a coordinator we do not actually give the drug, take VS, blood, etc but we are responsible for managing the patients on the trial. Our job...

  13. New Graduate Thinking of Accelerated BSN program, any info would help

    anc33 replied to UF08's topic in Florida Nursing

    This is true. However, I can imagine that they might change that policy if they see a lot of students dropping out of the program at that

  14. treatment for liver melanoma

    anc33 replied to karena123's topic in Oncology

    One place to look is www.clinicaltrials.gov to see what kind of research in ongoing in that

  15. New Graduate Thinking of Accelerated BSN program, any info would help

    anc33 replied to UF08's topic in Florida Nursing

    Be aware that UF has phased out many of its MSN programs. There are only a few left, PHN, CNL, and NNP, I believe. They are now offering a post-BSN DNP. Best of luck, your numbers sound like you...

  16. Starting new research sites

    anc33 replied to New adventure's topic in Research

    I personally have never started a new site. I think it is commendable that you wish to provide these trials to people who would not normally have access to them. Some questions to consider are; do...

  17. Nurse manager says you can't refuse iv

    anc33 replied to paintedbison's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is correct. You may also refuse any part of treatment without completely rescinding consent. Going against the patient's wishes would constitute battery in this

  18. Universities dropping GRE requirement?

    anc33 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am definitely going to have to agree with you here. While I do not think that the GRE weighs heavily in any admissions decision it can give someone a critical edge when qualifications are otherwise...

  19. OCN Review advice please!

    anc33 replied to janellewhalen's topic in Oncology

    I took the course and thought it was the biggest waste of money. It is basically just the book regurgitated into power point form. It does have quizzes but I recommend the core curriculum study...

  20. should i get msrn clinical research degree

    anc33 replied to delta1961's topic in Research

    I concur. Plus, you would want to see if the area is a good fit for you before you spend money on the degree. I have found that a lot of people quit in the first year after finding their...

  21. Why leuko/irridated blood products for chemo patients??

    anc33 replied to raindrop's topic in Oncology

    Sorry, I had a typo in there it should have read "in patients". TA-GvHD happens when the white cells from the bood donor take over in patients who have had myeloablative chemo. When the patients own...

  22. Getting a job at a hospital that you owe money to

    anc33 replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I honestly didn't even think about credit checks. I have never encounted this when applying for jobs. Any verification of prior employment has been via a phone call to my previous bosses....

  23. Why leuko/irridated blood products for chemo patients??

    anc33 replied to raindrop's topic in Oncology

    There is a risk for GvHD is any patient undergoing myeloablative

  24. Getting a job at a hospital that you owe money to

    anc33 replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    This is a clear HIPAA violation. The HR dept should not be able to access patient billing. How did you receive news of your rejection? I would report this incident immediately and include the name...

  25. role of NP in research

    anc33 replied to VivaRN's topic in Research

    If these are industry trials you would most likely be serving as a sub-I. I have never seen a non-MD (or other appropriate doctoral prepared person) be qualified by a drug company to be PI or Co-PI....
