Overview

The Clinical Research Center (CRC) is an outpatient, hospital-based clinic which provides nursing services for pediatric and adult participants enrolled in research studies, with an emphasis on autoimmune diseases (particularly Type 1 Diabetes), and immune therapies. The Registered Nurse supports and supplements regular staff during high census days and in other special circumstances, by providing various nursing services including: 

• Starting IVs
• Infusing investigational agents
• Performing blood draws
• Checking vital signs
• Monitoring for adverse events
• Other required nursing support to the research staff

The Per Diem Clinical Research Nurse will cover primarily day shift hours, though evening and night shifts may periodically be offered. Due to the nature of scheduling on the CRC, the available shifts offered to the Per Diem pool often vary substantially from one month to the next. The usual operating times of the CRC are 7:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
