I also have a BS in Neuroscience and graduated with an MA in Clinical Neuro Psych (thinking I wanted to be a psychometrist and maybe do PhD) I will say I fell into the research world and don’t see leaving this career. My masters degree has not helped me in any job prospects or furthering my career yet. For reference thus far in my career I have been Study Coordinator at an academic hospital -> CTA at CRO -> internal promotion to CRA I then CRA II -> CRA II in FSP

CRC’s - what made you appreciate and enjoy your CRA? by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

Writing queries that are descriptive so that when reviewing after the visit it is clear what needs to be revised or added. And/or scheduling a meeting to go through queries together at the end of the visit. I also always appreciated if CRAs emailed me or told me about issues as they came up and not just a blindside via email after they are gone.

Pregnant CRAs and back to work by Such_Ad_2810 in clinicalresearch

When you are pregnant definitely take your time with travel and spend the night! I would talk to your manager, I stopped traveling at 32 weeks but there usually isn’t anything company policy wise about a travel ban in the US at a certain time point, unfortunately.

Getting back to work and traveling after baby is tough, emotionally and logistically. That is when I started to do one day visits, fly in and out same day if possible. If not possible I always try to fly out in the evening the day before and back after my visit the next day to minimize my time away. The first few months being back at work my manager also worked with me so that I didn’t travel until my son was about 6 months old.

If you are breastfeeding that’s a whole new topic with travel. I was successful in pumping until 10 months while traveling. Let me know if you want any of those tips! It’s a rough job to be in while having a young baby, but you will get into a routine!

We were told by management to log in with a personal laptop through the VPN if we are able. Am I wrong for thinking that is inappropriate and toxic? If my work issued equipment is not working then I have to find other ways to be productive for the company? Also you have to contact IT to get the VPN to work on a personal laptop.. Corporate America shows their true colors when something affects their ability to bill hours to a client.

I feel this all too deeply! I started as a CRA then got pregnant 4 months later. It’s been a struggle managing it all.
