Essentially you would be a research assistant. If you think you would ever want to be involved in research nursing you should grab this. It would give you a huge edge because that type of training is very hard to come by in this field.

However, it is not case management as you are referring to it so you would need to consider that.

Thanks! What if I don't want to be a RN. Don't clinical rsearch nurses must have a Masters?

It sounds like an administrative assistant job description.

Case management is different. And different than a supervisor.

In most areas of acute care, in some states, LVN's are not allowed within the scope of practice to supervise RN's clinically. That is different in LTC.

Case management is patient oriented--and some LVN's can be certified in this. I would look it up online and see what that takes to become certified:

Certifications | NAPNES

Here's a place to start.

Good luck!

No. I know many LVN's, BSN's, ADN's that work as research nurses.

Ok . I guess I'm wondering are lvn research jobs in demand?

Not really. Research is kind of a plum assignment. Very hard to break into. So while there are jobs they are not easy to find regardless of your credentials.

Thanks for the insight. Case manager is my goal and I will keep knocking on doors for a shadowing experience. Even if I have to give away free coffee and donuts to administrative team. Lol. I'm determined and eager to learn

Suggest also you go to the "Specialties" section in the big yellow bar at the top of the page and go to "Case Management." You will learn a great deal about what this really entails, the credentials you need, and the education you'll need to take them.

For what it's worth, I know exactly zero situations in which LVN/LPNs supervise RNs. According to the nurse practice act and the ANA Scope and Standards of Practice which are binding on all of us, this is not an acceptable practice in any clinical setting, and this would include case management. If you really, really want to be a case manager, get thee to a nursing program that prepares you to take NCLEX-RN, not -PN.
