You and I are in the same boat. I think it would be mutually beneficial for us to compare notes?

I would find a tie to activity.. example.. number of calls made daily, emails sent, accounts worked, and size of accounts you work with. Also give example of cross collaboration within your org- sales is a team sport.. show them you’re a team player

If you’re ok with it, posting your resume for advice here could help too

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay.

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
