Advice on Changing FieldsRating: (votes: 0) Based on my own experience, the only secure positions for Research nurses are in very large teaching facilities. Otherwise, the positions are funded by the project grant & disappear when the study is over. The nature of these positions varies a great deal, depending on the scope of the study - range from basic VS & follow up calls to involvement in clinical interventions & patient teaching. ICU is pretty much the same everywhere - LOL. Total patient care, much high level of accountability re: interdependent functions (initiating standing orders or protocols, titrations to maintain hemodynamic parameters, etc.). There's no 'down time' as the pace of the work is very constant. |
