I've been an RN working on a sub-acute floor at an LTC facility just under 6 months. I've learned so much and gained so many practical and time management skills. I can have 15 patients per shift (so like last night I had 12 and 3 admits). Its slightly overwhelming for me, especially since they don't look at patient acuity (2 peg tubes, 3 PICCs, 2IVs, a trach and a wound vac at the moment). While I can tell that I'm growing in my comfort level, I'm starting to feel burned out. Plus I worry about putting my license on the line with that many patients. I really want to try something else. There's a clinical research facility about 10 miles from my house that is hiring a clinical nurse. Its something that I've been interested in for a long time. They have the job summary/duties/responsibilities all listed and I match their requirements. It looks good on paper. I'm nervous about leaving my first nursing jobs six months in. I don't want to burn bridges. And I'd hate to make a switch and then hate my new job. (Look at me worrying before I've even finished applying!) What's it like in a day of the life of a clinical research nurse?
