krisrimbos Hi all! We are revisiting some workflows around enrolling patients into our main IRB approved study of our fetal population. Do your nurses consent patients for research studies? Do they collect specimens (such as blood)? Do you have a research nurse and if so, what is the division of the work between that role and the nurse coordinators? TIA!
KatieFrancis Our nurse navigators have all done the Citi training and are on our IRBs. The research nurses and nurse navigators can obtain consents and will also do specimen collection. We have a 1.0 fte for the research nurse position that is shared by two nurses. Happy to discuss more: katie.francis@ssmhealth.com
AmyPowne Our nurses do not consent patients, but then again I don't have any research RNs . . . I would love to get research FTE - any tips on that 🙂
