Nurses in laboratories? Are there laboratory work for nurses?

Is anyone here a laboratory nurse, or whatever type of nursing roles in laboratories? I'm aware medical laboratory scientists obviously work in labs, but are there jobs that nurses can work in?
I worked in research. In addition to consenting patients, we also collected blood and spun/aliquotted it.

Research nurse. Go figure.

I should also mention, although I loved the lab work, it was a pretty insignificant part of my role. It definitely appealed to my sense of orderliness, and it was very relaxing to me (I'm an introvert, so working alone in the lab restored my mental battery). But it was grunt work that a monkey could do, really. If you want to work in a lab, become a lab tech. I would not recommend seeking out a research nurse position because of the lab work. Most places have techs that do the lab work, our little unit was unique.
