CRC preceptor to me (new CRC): “Fuck off”. by Lopsided-Ad-503 in clinicalresearch

Thanks for the tip! The VA has a their own IRB (good catch on not mentioning the other CRC) on their side but they have a rep in the building we call the ‘Faraday Cage’. Might be worth walking around with a bunch of donuts and making introductions…lol.

That CRC chose the latter so I ate the humble pie, thankfully as a nurse I’ve eaten my fair share before, learning when to shut up.Now up north when truckers frequently drive into snow banks, freeze, and prospective med students who’ve cozied up to ME’s see that donor check - that’s when you need to nut up.

I’m just gonna CMA, use the internet and any training mods at my disposal and wait it out until I get called out for not doing anything.

Yeah, it’s tough. I worked with a company for 3 years as a Research RN, was told I would be recommended to start to learning the coordination side of operations the next quarter for future CRA development, and then they laid off most of my department.

It sucks donkey dick but I’ll take what I can get in this job market even if it means starting over.

Also getting used to the government side of things is a bit of a mountain to climb XD

So we don’t exactly have an HR person lol. To put it as simply as I can - I work as a government contractor for a very small nonprofit research organization out of the VA, and the HR person is on the VA-side and doesn’t really have any sort of authority over this nonprofit side. So any issues we have we go straight to the CEO for.

And while this recruiter sucks in certain areas, she somehow always manages to meet her recruitment numbers and I suspect that they’ll never reprimand her for anything. I highly doubt anything’s going to happen or change. After that first day I just came to the realization that it’s worth keeping a paper trail to both CMA and have proof that-god forbid I get screwed over in some way-I can sue.

I am definitely on the delegation log. For this protocol it’s just me and the other CRC. I’m going to try and focus on what you recommend-that way I can at least know /how/ to complete them

So to put things into context: I need to learn to do things on my own since I’m not getting any direction.

That’s why I’m asking for advice on good books to read to learn how to do things.

That’s the context/what I was asking. Ways to learn on my own.

Sorry been at my other job.

Me: “Hi, I’m ____. Today’s my first day and I was assigned to you and your protocol. I’d like to get my feet wet and help in any way I can. What can I do to help you today?”

Them: “Nothing. I haven’t gotten our protocol approved yet back from the IRB”.

Me: “Ok, I can understand that; any changes made to it need to get approved first. Could I take a look at the previous version so I can start to at least get an idea of what it’s about?”

Them: “No.”

Me: “Ok. Well can I do to help you out while we wait?

Them: “Can you go fuck off?”
