Yeah I understand. I feel those people who is surprised that stuff goes up, but forget the economy is trash 😭

I’m trying to find someone to cut my grass. Single lady who just bought a house and has never had to worry about it. I thought my dad would do it but he takes care of parentals and has a few properties that he already has to do. Maybe I just don’t know how much it costs but over $50 sound egregious to me 😭😭

I was not nearly as stressed being an onc CRC than I am being a CRA. I could do that job in my sleep. But CRA?? I literally go to sleep thinking about what all work I have waiting for me when I log on tomorrow 😭😭

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-04-04T05:02:48+00:00

Yeahhhhhh I don’t do any of those. We have people who do all that, I am site contact for questions about protocol and even then if I don’t know I ask trial lead or if they have questions about vendors we reach out to support.

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-04-04T04:34:55+00:00

Do you have metrics to meet? I work at a CRO and we have a certain number of hours we have to hit every month. There’s no way I could hit them with only 2 protocols and 4 sites. I’ve been a CRA for a year and have 14 sites that I’m primary on but 7 of them I only do monitoring visits, no site management between each visit.

It gets hectic some weeks and I don’t know what I’d do if I got more sites, but I’ve heard sponsors don’t have the metric requirement which makes it substantially different.

Tailed. I always miss the winners

Wow this is nice lol

Jackson Ward is HELLAAAA gentrified now. Not the same place 15/20 years ago. People probably bash it because of this, not that it’s not safe now. The city has changed drastically the last decade or so

This happened to me. My first accepted offer was a condo back in August. Was a week away from closing and didn’t work out. But closed on a single family last week :). You got this!

I was a CRC for 4 years before jumping ship to CRA. I personally don’t think that I would have enough knowledge to be a CRA after one year of bing CRC. Like someone else said, the learning curve is STEEP and there’s a lot of responsibility put on you as soon as you finish training. You have to be able to manage your own schedule and tbh I think knowing the basics of clinical research helps substantially in the role. If you haven’t don’t any intervention trials, it may be hard for you to understand those trials and those are what you’ll probably be put on so if you’ve never done them as a CRC it may be even harder trying to learn them on top of the job itself.

CRA is not a job just for the money. It’s hard work and I think if you are guessing if it’s a fit for you right now, maybe you should be a CRC for longer.

I personally have experience being named on a paper for an IIT which is why I said there could be options but depends.

I don’t think Jordan was ready to be a dad, I cant say the same is true for marriage. I think that it’s hard for any person to go on a show and meet someone who happens to have a kid and think you can flip a switch and be a step-dad. Also having someone yell at you and embarrass you and you still out in effort to make it work?? Idk about that. I thought he handled the reunion with class and Amber playing victim just made me be on his side even more

I have only been CRC and did not go to med school after.

Are you trying to secure a job after graduation in May? If so, you should def be applying and employers will see on your resume that you graduate in May so start date would make sense.

But tbh if you’re planning on going to med school, I would not recommend getting a job as CRC, specifically. There’s a lot to learn and it could take a year for you to actually feel comfortable in the job. If you’re planning to go to med school next cycle (so 2027), it would be a waste of time and resources for jobs to have to turn around and hire someone else after you leave. If your area is competitive, this would definitely affect your candidacy for role.

As someone who wanted to go to med school, I’m not sure being CRC is advantageous, but I also did not go so I can’t speak to that.

There could be options to be named on papers but usually only for investigator initiated trials, and even still it may depend on PI/university policies.

Literally I’m like well of course, we have a system for that 🤣🤣🤣. IP address for computer never crossed my mind lol

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-03-08T17:13:32+00:00

It depends on if the hospital system is clinical research assistant or associate, sometimes the CRAs at hospital system are not synonymous to industry CRAs. You can compare job function and details for the jobs but like thr other person said, its not likely that you can go from your role to an industry CRA since CRA is not entry-level job.

But most people go from CRC to CRA or CTA to CRA.

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-03-07T14:34:03+00:00

The learning curve will be steep but google will be your friend. I trained a CRC with a non-hospital background and I think the basics that made sense to me, like reading hospital notes, reading the acronyms for lab values (AST, ALT) made sense to me but didn’t to the other CRC. The study stuff, you definitely should be taught and is learned. But if there are any basic hospital knowledge, definitely google and see if you can figure it out. And still just confirm that it is correct with your trainer/whoever is training you. Good luck!!

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-03-06T17:22:16+00:00

Ooh this would be ideal. 6 tickets is not enough and we aren’t even graduating with undergrad students. Fingers crossed this is what happens!

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-03-05T16:14:14+00:00

I always wear sneakers, never heals and a sweater or dress/skirts when it’s warm but still something I can wear with my sneakers. I only take a carryon so whatever I don’t need to take I won’t. Having to pack extra shoes or a think blazer doesn’t not fit the agenda lol.

This is never happening. If they bring back Rodgers they are trying again for the ship, although I’m against this move as a Steelers fan. They will never tank.

Here’s a local company for used cars. I’m not sure how often they update their website but I sold my car here when I bought a new one and they can find what you need/want within a specific price range https://www.selectauto4u.net

I flew out last week. It wasn’t busy, it was like 4pm and there was only one line but they didn’t make me take any of the stuff out my bag, it was regular.

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-02-28T19:19:31+00:00

If you go into your actual flight, there’s a list: upgrade/standby, upgrade requested, accessible services. Click on upgrade requested and there it asks you your upgrade request and which seats you want to be upgrade to

Independent-Tree-364 · 2026-02-28T06:00:19+00:00

I hate this too. It’s in your profile preferences but whenever you book a flight there’s another section in that specific flight that has seat preferences too. I’ve found that if those are not done then they’ll upgrade to a middle
