The city

Living in Bloomington, MN

Bloomington sits just south of Minneapolis along the Minnesota River, offering suburban comfort with easy Twin Cities access. Home to the Mall of America and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, it blends retail and dining hubs with quiet green spaces — a practical, family-friendly base for nurses who want metro proximity without downtown density.

Who they are

You work as a per-diem or PRN registered nurse for Medical Research Network out of the Bloomington, MN area, meeting patients where they live.

More about Medical Research Network

Your day is built around community clinical-trial visits: you administer study drugs, collect safety bloods, and use IV, phlebotomy, and infusion skills in homes rather than on a fixed hospital unit. A current driving licence and vehicle are essential; there is no home-office path for the pediatric nurse role. Pay on the posting we see lists $45 an hour, with paid travel and mileage reimbursement. Scheduling is flexible per-diem/PRN rather than a locked unit roster. The organization is a private company founded in 2006, headquartered in Milton Keynes, UK, with a few hundred employees and a stated aim of running trials in the community so patients are not limited to traditional sites. Employees often mention caring colleagues and ongoing training. At the same time, Glassdoor shows a 3.1/5 overall from 59 reviews, and some voices flag complex logistics, communication gaps, and pressure on culture when things get hard. You will want at least two years of adult or pediatric nursing, solid IV and phlebotomy practice, and comfort living on the road between visits.

Support clinical trials based in the community to expand patient access beyond the traditional site model.
