BSN new grad here with 6 months experience in MedSurg looking into working in clinical research. It's been difficult to get into it though without years of experience! Any suggestions to get in is appreciated!

I would look at jobs for RN clinical research coordinators. If you have a VA near you that is a good venue to start your research career. I started there and then moved to private research companies for 35 years. On the forefront of new medications in various diseases and conditions.
