I'll be the first..Nurses?

I bet there's a bunch of nurses out there!! So time to speak up and say what kind of nursing you do. What's cool about our profession is how many different things you can do with a nursing degree.

I am a Registered Nurse. I work for a private Pediatric practice coordinating clinical trials. Previously I did hospital nursing on a pediatric ward, worked at a pediatric clinic, became the nursing director for pediatric clinic...hated it...decided I did not want to deal with personnel issues, and stumbled into clinical research at the same pediatric clinic. I absolutely LOVE this job!! Being a "type A" personality, it suits me. There are protocols to follow with strict guidelines. There are many ethical and legal issues involved in research, it is fascinating. I love being involved in gettting needed treatments to the patients. I get to give all my little ones alot of TLC and closer attention than I got to do in any of my other roles. I get to know families and children so well, we become part of each other's lives...which I feel I have a part in making a little more comfortable, healthy, easier!
