input from nurse edu's welcomed

Hi nurses! I am considering a CNE position in the AbbVie/Abbott/Quint. corp. I would love some honest feedback on the following: ( not that I don't love the posts filled with thickly ladden sarcasm and potty humor!

1-do you think your position is a reasonably secure one, or do you feel the impending doom of layoffs in your future considering the market?

2-do you find there is genuine education and patient focused care in your role, or do you feel more like a pharm rep using the Nurse-Nightingale theme as a front / sales strategy?

3-are your managers / peers generally supportive, approachable, open? Or, is the climate purely cut-throat-corporate?

Anything else you wish someone told you before entering this role?

Thanks for your time.

Figure out who you work for.
You can be another nurse going in saying I am not in sales since you want to lie to the customer and yourself

ok, so using this role is really just a good marketing move on the part of the company - a replacement for the reps that now can't get two seconds of face time with the docs? I mean if that's what it really is - I want to know.

If what they say in the interview doesn't make sense, trust your gut.

And a fat gut it is, no doubt - to match your giant nursey ass. Too many rep catered lunches. Only a complete buffoon would come to this forum with an assinine question like that. Hey, on second thought, you are perfect for AbbVie!

Good luck.

If it is for the Drive for Five campaign I would take it. Men's Health awareness is hot right now and you will be getting in on the ground floor. My 2 cents.

No, it is a pathetic, decades old scheme. Go away
