THE ROLE
We are seeking an experienced Clinical Research Nurse to join our team as a full-time Vitalief employee. In this role, you will support one of our clients who is an outpatient cancer center attached to hospital in the New Brunswick, NJ area, overseeing high-priority interventional oncology clinical trials across multiple disease groups. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced nurse (RN) to transition into a rewarding career in clinical research and support Oncology trials. Our client is willing to provide comprehensive on the job training in oncology and clinical trials.

WHY VITALIEF?  
  • Contribute to advancing scientific discoveries: that improve patient lives.
  • PEOPLE FIRST culture: with opportunities for growth and innovation.
  • Competitive benefits : include 20 PTO days + 9 paid holidays; Company-paid life insurance and short/long-term disability; 401(k) retirement program; Comprehensive healthcare plans.
  • Work schedule: 5 days per week on-site (New Brunswick, NJ area) initially; then 4 days on-site and 1 day remote weekly after the training period.
  • Standard work hours: 8:00am to 4:30pm.
  • Market-competitive salary : 100K to 120K - depending on experience.
Responsibilities:
  • Under the direction of the Clinical Research Director, support primarily Medical Oncology interventional studies (Phase II–III). Studies are largely drug and biologic trials, with limited device studies, and may include radiation and surgical components.
  • Deliver high-quality, compassionate, hands-on oncology nursing care while coordinating closely with investigators, clinical teams, and ancillary departments (e.g., pathology, radiology, clinical laboratory, surgery, infusion services) in accordance with study protocols, treatment plans, and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines.
  • Assist investigators with the preparation and implementation of new clinical trials, including patient screening, enrollment, and ongoing protocol-driven clinical management of study participants.
  • Serve as a critical-thinking clinical partner—not a task-based nurse—demonstrating the ability to prioritize, exercise sound judgment, and appropriately challenge physician orders to ensure protocol accuracy, patient safety, and completeness of documentation.
  • Work within assigned physician groups aligned to clinic schedules. On clinic days, provide direct patient-facing support; on non-clinic days, complete administrative and project-related activities such as documentation, patient follow-up calls, order review, and study coordination.
  • Collaborate with the Protocol Activation Office to initiate and activate assigned clinical trials using the OnCore™ study start-up task list.
  • Review patient charts and medical histories to confirm protocol eligibility and obtain required source documentation.
  • Perform core research functions, including timely documentation and reporting of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), accessing protocol documents in OnCore™, entering and maintaining records in medical record databases, and preparing patient study calendars.
Qualifications:
  • Graduate of an accredited school of nursing with an active Registered Nurse (RN) license in the State of New Jersey.
  • Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required.
  • Minimum 5 years of nursing experience in a hospital or outpatient center.
  • Oncology nursing experience in a hospital or clinic setting is a plus – but not required.
  • Clinical trial experience is a plus but not required.
  • Strong critical thinking and prioritization skills, with the confidence to be appropriately assertive in advocating for protocol adherence and patient safety.
  • Excellent communication skills: serve as a key liaison across departments and effectively translate complex clinical information into clear, patient-friendly language.
  • Proficiency in document and data management tools, including Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe, Teams, and SharePoint.
  • Detail-oriented, assertive, proactive, and adaptable, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, academic, and diverse environment.
  • Comfortable learning and using clinical systems such as OnCore™, electronic medical records, and other clinical trial management tools.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS: Standing, sitting, walking, visual perception, talking and hearing. Lifting up to 20lbs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Vitalief partners with clients such as major medical centers and academic institutions that often requires all on-site resources such as prospective Vitalief consultants to be inoculated annually for Influenza and successfully pass a Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) for Mycobacterium Tuberculosis.
