The CRU is staffed around the clock by registered nurses with nearly 70 years of combined research experience. The majority of our nurses have backgrounds in intensive care as well as general medicine, neurology, and pediatrics. The entire nursing staff is certified in chemotherapy administration as well as the use of central venous catheters. In addition to organizing the nursing care, providing for individual patient needs, and scheduling procedures, the research nurses obtain research data and carry out many experimental procedures. The CRU nursing staff prides itself in thorough and well documented data collection. We gladly assist investigators in designing flow-sheets and providing patient education necessary for specific research protocols. Nurse Manager, Mike Bosch, RN, oversees the nursing staff.
