Clinical Research Nurse

Overview

The Clinical Research Nurse (CRN) will provide direct patient care to patients enrolled in or considering a clinical trial. The CRN, in collaboration with the satellite physician(s), is responsible for the implementation and evaluation of clinical research in their specific program/area. The CRN has expert knowledge of cancer as a disease process, cancer treatment modalities (or comparable knowledge for a non-oncology area, e.g. infection control) and the process of conducting medical clinical research. In addition, the CRN utilizes evidence-based nursing practice and has expertise in developing and coordinating a plan of care designed to meet the physical, psychological, and social needs of those cancer patients and their families undergoing therapy in a clinical research trial. Strong interpersonal, organizational and communication skills are required. Knowledge of current literature and a commitment to continued learning are also required. Specific duties and responsibilities may vary across the different satellite practices. The Mission, Vision and Core Values of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute are incorporated into all areas of practice. Position requires travel to all DFCI satellite locations and the ability to quickly assimilate to new environments and foster team relationships at each site.
