About the role

Research Nurses coordinate the clinical care of research patients and ensure research patient safety. Oncology clinical trial drugs have varying levels of toxicity, and Research Nurses monitor and assess patient responses and adverse events. They educate patients on drug safety and keep clinical research coordinators, physicians, and clinical staff informed on patient status.

The Research Nurse is involved in the clinical research process from the time of the site evaluation visit and site initiation visit through to patients completing treatment on a trial.
