  1. role of NP in research

    anc33 replied to VivaRN's topic in Research

    It depends. Can you describe the research program in more detail. How many protocols do you have open at a time? How is enrollment? Do you have any support staff for regulatory issues? Are you...

    anc33 replied to MisterSimba's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, check out the research forum. There are a few of us on here. Also, if you like oncology, look into ONS. Therer have an clinical trials SIG. As for getting into research, you need a solid...

  4. another "what are my chances" thread

    anc33 replied to sprinklez's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I too think you have a shot. Top tier schools especially like to look at the whole person for admission. It is a very different system from CCs you hear about that make their admissions decisions...

  5. Interested in this specialty : )

    anc33 replied to Kittyfeet's topic in Research

    Research is a very broad area. Can you elaborate more on what type of research you would like to be involved

  6. im a newbie!

    anc33 replied to D&Ggirl's topic in Research

    I don't know whick organization you are interested in but I took the ACRP test and it was not that bad. Many questions are intuitive for nurses but you will have to study the code of federal...

  7. Most logical route for MSN, direct entry or BSN?

    anc33 replied to Tony1790's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I agree with the previous poster. Forget the LPN and try to get into an accelerated BSN. Same timeframe unless you still need pre-recs. I am of the opinion that you need a few years of experience...

  8. Is the ANA worth it????

    anc33 replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. My specialty organization, ONS, is much more invested in furthering the cause of RNs and APRNs than anything I have ever seen come out of the ANA. And don't even get me started on the...

  9. Other people's ?s about your salary...

    anc33 replied to eager1hasbegun's topic in General Nursing

    I have told people that if they really want to know they can google it. Unfortunately, I work for the state and thanks to our legislators and their infinite wisdom all state employees salaries are...

  10. Chemotherapy during hemodyalysis

    anc33 replied to BSNin2008's topic in Oncology

    Common? Not in my experience. However, there are a number of trials currently looking at using CHOP or R-CHOP in ESRD patients. There was one Hopkins trial where they did not find these patients to...

  11. ISO Comment Re. Grad Programs, etc.

    anc33 replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I went to JHU for my BSN and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about that city. I have two friends that recently graduated with their MSN/MPH and, while they said it was tough, it was well...

    anc33 replied to featherzwolfcloud's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the type of stroke. First you have to determine wether is was hemorrhagic or due to a

  13. Marketability of RNs in clinical research positions.

    anc33 replied to rar_bsn_rn's topic in Research

    Don't jugde research jobs by their titles. A CRA position might be a data manager at one facility and a regional monitor at another. You really just have to look at job descriptions. I hold the...

  14. Specialty Certifications Worth it?

    anc33 replied to emptybee's topic in General Nursing

    I earn an extra $2500/yr for my cert. Once I get my OCN, that will probably add another

  15. GRE Study guide/tips

    anc33 replied to coolvibesRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I too would emphasize the vocab. The math is really just basic algebra. Review the concepts but don't stress out over it. With the math you can at least work backwards from the answers if you are...

  16. ACRP CRC exam

    anc33 replied to anc33's topic in Research

    The test deals with all aspects of study management, documentation, subject coordination, protocol activities, and specifically the federal regulations that govern clinical trials. If you are...

  17. Marketability of RNs in clinical research positions.

    anc33 replied to rar_bsn_rn's topic in Research

    I will share my experiences and try to answer any other questions you have. I started out in a phase I center associated with a university. Phase I research is much different from the other phases...

  20. nurse navigator role

    anc33 replied to rnheart's topic in General Nursing

    Have you read anything on the NCI's Patient Navigator Research Program? They give a great overview of the program and the types of things that the navigators are trying to accomplish. I had the...

  21. clinical research coordinator

    anc33 replied to mom to a PRINCESS's topic in Research

    In general CRCs are paid less than staff nurses. For example at Hopkins coordinators start in the high 40s. New grads are being paid roughly 5-10K more at JHH. And, if monitoring is what you really...

  22. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    anc33 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    I liked the AANN Core Curriculum book. Unfortunately, it is just as

  24. anyone with hospital and office experience??

    anc33 replied to NellieP73's topic in General Nursing

    If you require any kind of flexibility in your life then stick with the hospital. While I love my job now, I do miss only having to work three days a week. I am also back in school and it is...

  25. ''I Don't get Paid Enough!''- Is this your mantra??

    anc33 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    If you had told me that I would be making in the 50-60K range 4 years out of nursing school I would have been salivating. Initially. Of course they started me at 17.25 so even a dollar more sounded...
