  1. Best way to become a research nurse?

    cdscmb replied to tracytate's topic in Research

    It doesn't matter what unit you come from, only that you can adapt to the research mindset. It is different from any other kind of nursing. A lot of nurses find it difficult to either make the...

  2. Research and new grad status?

    cdscmb replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Research

    OP, you have plenty of experience to get a job as a research nurse. I worked as a research assistant for 2 years in the lab, ended up going to nursing school and worked on the floor for about 9 months...

  3. Curious about clinical research nursing

    cdscmb replied to impossiblepluto's topic in Research

    If you enjoy research and you want to do it for a career, yes. If you are absolutely unable to get a job as an RN doing anything else, yes (saturated job market). Although, if you are unsure this is...

  4. Curious about clinical research nursing

    cdscmb replied to impossiblepluto's topic in Research

    As you describe it, that sounds a lot like the research coordinators here. I like to think of them as a liaison between the sponsor, the investigators and the nursing staff and they physically manage...

  5. Looking for a research job?

    cdscmb replied to ToughingItOut's topic in Research

    You're likely right about the nursing license. That may be something you have to get before your info can make it past the human resources screening. I'm also unsure of how to navigate international...

  6. Looking for a research job?

    cdscmb replied to ToughingItOut's topic in Research

    Are you going to be looking for a nursing research job and teaching as a PhD or are you looking into working as a nurse on clinical research trials? Are you looking to work in New York City or...

  7. Curious about clinical research nursing

    cdscmb replied to impossiblepluto's topic in Research

    I guess it depends on what the job responsibilities are. I'm guessing most places are different depending on how large they are and what type of research trials they do. At my location we mainly do...

  8. Can a new BSN grad w/research experience get a research nurse job?

    cdscmb replied to troop949's topic in Research

    I am wondering the same thing. I have 2 years of academic research with my BSN and ~6 mo experience as an RN. I'll be applying to CRC and CRA positions. Hopefully my research experience makes me stand...

  9. New Grad / Difficult time

    cdscmb replied to Puckerup78's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you considered moving to Alabama? You've already gotten offers, but chose not to take them. Move back to AL, get your experience, maybe consider enrolling in an online RN-BSN program and then you...

  10. LOW pay in South East FL.

    cdscmb replied to lpn954's topic in Florida Nursing

    You are correct. Sorry to offer a bleak outlook, but I haven't heard of anywhere in central Florida paying more than $24/hr to start as a new grad RN. I would believe it is that way in most of the SE...

  11. Graduating high school want to become a nurse anesthetists tips and facts on how to?

    cdscmb replied to Taylorlb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The first question you should ask yourself is "why do I want to become a nurse anesthetist?". What about the work excites you? Can you see yourself doing it as a career? Have you shadowed a CRNA? You...

  12. Appropriate additional PRN job

    cdscmb posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm about 4 months in to my first nursing job. It's been okay for me and I've had an excellent orientation. I work 3 days per week, but I've found I don't like too much time off. I'd like to work an...

  13. Thinking about the move to Florida...

    cdscmb replied to JonM_RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would think long and hard about a move to central Florida from NJ. I don't mean to crush your spirits, but with your experience and even with what you consider to be a lower than average NJ wage,...

  14. Remington College of Nursing Summer 2013

    cdscmb replied to mstink88's topic in Florida Nursing

    It was difficult, but worth it to get through it in a year and any nursing program is going to be tough. Although if I had the opportunity, I'd have gone to a state university accelerated BSN program...

  15. When to start applying for jobs

    cdscmb replied to cmedar20's topic in Florida Nursing

    Do it now, but look specifically for graduate nurse

  16. A patient wants to know your thoughts on frequent fliers...

    cdscmb replied to Clusterhead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it is like you said and you are respectful and non-demanding when you go to the ER, they're probably used to seeing you and the nursing staff likely won't give it a second thought. In fact, you'll...

  17. Any Winnie Palmer Nurses??

    cdscmb replied to rahuntrn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't work for Winnie, but I guess the first question would be what kind of experience do you have and where have you worked? Where did you go to nursing school? I would agree that with nursing in...

  18. I got my first RN job but i need advice.

    cdscmb replied to bingu64's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At this point, especially in CA from what I hear, it is extremely difficult to get a job as a new nurse. As for the pay, they probably have plenty of people to choose from that will do the job for...

  19. New ASN grad jobs??

    cdscmb replied to FLNurseGuy's topic in Florida Nursing

    The current situation is rough. With ACA set to completely change hospital reimbursement, most are tightening their belts. I believe the big hospitals here are all on hiring freezes. Did you keep in...

  20. Hypothetical questions about CRNA and NP school.

    cdscmb replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Applying hardcore patho is something an NP (or PA, or physician) would be doing. A CRNA typically assists/manages anesthetized patients. I've known people who've gone to CRNA school and quit because...

  21. How do I get an interview at a hospital as a new graduate RN in South Florida??

    cdscmb replied to nrodriz33428's topic in Florida Nursing

    Be open to the possibility of moving within the state, even if it is only for a year or two to get some experience. I applied to a few positions, but I lucked out because one of my nursing instructors...

    cdscmb replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    What's your email

  23. Remington College of Nursing - Orlando

    cdscmb replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's not always good when someone disagrees with you, but in this case, that's great! I only spoke of info for people I know (and that was about a year ago), but if people are getting job offers out...

  24. Remington College of Nursing - Orlando

    cdscmb replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    Apologies for the wall of text... Your concerns are valid and I agree that the financial aspect is bad. I understand the frustration of not knowing what to expect and reading conflicting info all...

  25. Remington College of Nursing - Orlando

    cdscmb replied to TopCat1234's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't count on getting into Florida state schools for post grad. UCF and UF are a definite no, I'd check if you're interested in others. I think Miami might be fine (private). Depends on how you...
