Description

Are you a nurse or healthcare professional feeling burned out, underpaid, and stuck in a cycle of bureaucracy?
Today, I reveal the 3-3-3 Framework: a blueprint specifically designed for bedside nurses who want to break into the high-paying world of Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Sales.
If you are tired of missing holidays and hitting a salary ceiling, this episode explains exactly what you actually need to do to land offers like our student Sydney, who went from $68k to a $138k package.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
The 3 Reasons to Leave: Why burnout and lack of creativity are signs it's time to pivot.
The 3 Barriers: Why relying on your degree and "following orders" kills your chances in sales interviews.
The 3 Solutions: How to leverage your clinical edge and tap into the 10,000+ open roles in biotech right now.
