As a leading global contract research organization (CRO) with a passion for scientific rigor and decades of clinical development experience, Fortrea provides pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device customers a wide range of clinical development, patient access, and technology solutions across more than 20 therapeutic areas. With over 19,000 staff conducting operations in more than 90 countries, Fortrea is transforming drug and device development for partners and patients across the globe.
As one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations in the world, we have four Early Phase Clinical Research Units in the UK and US.
We are currently seeking a Research Nurse to interact directly with our healthy volunteer participants while learning to read clinical research protocols and enjoy working in a fast-paced team-oriented environment. Each day is different; you will be exposed to a wide variety of Therapeutic Indications and study types (ascending dose, first-in-human, food effect, drug to drug interactions, etc.).
This is a full-time, office/clinic-based job in Madison, WI. You will be required to work a mix of shifts, including morning, night, and weekend shifts.
A career in Clinical Research as a Registered Nurse with Fortrea: from the hospital ward to the world.
If you join us, you will work with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies in a vital stage of clinical development: establishing the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of a new drug.
Many nurses are drawn to their profession because of its direct impact on patient care. If this is your case, you will not miss that working in Phase 1 trials. You will have a close face-to-face relationship with participants and continue to practice your clinical skills and knowledge, being involved with the latest medical technologies and treatments, witnessing their development firsthand. When the drug you worked with gets approved, you know you'll touch many patients' lives around the world.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
You will utilize your skills, knowledge, nursing diagnosis, and clinical judgment to provide a high standard of care for participants in clinical trials and respond to emergency situations based upon nursing standards.
Other key responsibilities:
- Utilize nursing assessment skills to observe participant general well-being and potential adverse events.
- Document adverse events and take appropriate action as needed.
- Obtain Informed Consent and continue the ICF process by educating, explaining, and informing participants of study procedures.
- Administer investigational compounds (inclusive of parenteral) to participants according to the protocol and applicable regulations.
- Perform study-related activities such as cannulation, telemetry, holters, vital signs, ECGs, and venipuncture.
- Undertake any other duties as required.
YOU NEED TO BRING...
- Associate degree/BS in nursing with current licensure in applicable state.
- CPR/AED certified.
- ACLS Certified.
- 2-3 years nursing experience.
Previous Research Nurse experience is ideal, but not a must. We are open to consider recent graduates or any recent nursing experience.
The important thing for us is you are comfortable working in an environment that is:
- Fast-paced: where no deviations from the study protocol are allowed, and not meeting a timeline for even a few minutes will create a quality issue.
- Changing priorities constantly asking you to prioritize and adapt on the spot.
- Teamwork and people skills are essential for the study to run smoothly.
- Technology-based: We collect our data directly into an electronic environment.
What do you get?
Regular, full-time, or part-time employees working 20 or more hours per week are eligible for comprehensive benefits including but not limited to:
- Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, STD/LTD (multiple insurance carriers).
- 401(K).
