Re: Nurse Educators-Transition of Care Specialists

As per the title, Transition of Care Specialist (TCS) which describes what the Nurses were hired to do and what is needed in many territories to pull through the initiation driven by the PSS team. Just like we can't have a successful football team where every player is a Quarterback, we need to work together doing different positions to be successful as a team. If there are Nurses who want to do the PSS position and sell to Cardiologists then they should certainly apply for a position since AZ has more than enough openings. Let's stop the competition between the forces and work together.

Oh please this is about one of the dumbest responses I have ever read. Leave your analogies for school age children too.

A nurse can't pull any Rx through when there are almost no Rx's to pull through! If my PSS can't sell the drug I have very little to do. I'm also not going to waste my time calling on a pharmacy either because the product is stocked and they already know about the drug.

There is not one TCS who has been rolled over to a PSS position because AZ does not value us and from what I have seen the role of the PSS is a not making much of a difference either.

...oh...really...well...here's a solution. If we're not getting the results we should then maybe we need to hire some more PSSs to increase SOV until we get it right.

Pharmacy calls yeah right. I have not made 1 pharmacy call all winter. They push that crap off on us because they know the PSS don't make those calls either.

If the PSSs let you in they could lose face time with the doc when they have frequent field rides. It's tough enough to get appointments or see docs so the logic is to keep what you can.

Besides, the manager may not think too highly of the rep if they let a nurse in to do the reps job. Know this sounds hard to believe, but there is a silo mentality especially across teams, and the tendency is to hoard or jealously guard what accomplishments you can to stick on a score card or keep within your own team.

Performance at AZ is measured primarily by individual accomplishment and compared to other peers and teams.

Our PSSs in Chicago have no face time because the doctors don't respect them.

It is interesting how people blame Pascal for not weeding out incompetents and the like. The guy has to run a worldwide company faced with a huge patent cliff while trying to rebuild a very weak pipeline. Let's be honest, he is hardly aware U.S. based reps exist, and certainly not on an individual basis. He has to rely on people like Hudson to get that job done, and even there job number one is showing the U.S. can maintain or grow market share.

Sounds like you are miserable and do not like the job you were hired to do.

Look dipshit. The nurses do NOT sell. They pull through the script. That is their only job. We sell or try to and access has been better thanks to the nurses. When mine comes to a lab day or a card office, she does a great job addressing access and patient support, cost and retail. These means I can listen up and focus in on finding out how to build initiation.

LOL! AZ a sales organization? Have you seen Brilinta sales? Comical! AZ may be a "sales Organization", but they forgot to tell the group responsible for selling (initiating) Brilinta. AZ needs to take a mulligan here. TRAIN the reps and take another swing at the ball. If they're lucky, the ball wont land in the weeds, a second time.

Get the Nurses out of the way so we can sell. Let's end this little project love fest and move on already.

They are not going away so best you deal with it. Look for announcement that contract will be renewed for another 18 months.

Reps smart enough to leverage the TCS's are doing so and are making impact. If you would get out the gym, the Starbucks, or your house, you would soon learn that a value is added through the services they provide. You are too stupid to understand that though.

The contract might be renewed but the does not mean the Nurses are staying. Expect to see an exodus of Nurses this April.

Honestly, few nurses want to put up with this kind of bullshit. I think they thought they were getting a valued clinical consulting job and they are bullied, have reports up the wazoo, have back stabbing AZ counterparts, two day ride a longs, have extremely long hours with no overtime, have to tiptoe around hospitals to "catch" targets and call on retail. Not exactly what a nurse thought they would be doing. Most that I know hate the job. I do not blame them. We (PSS's) do need them but many are starting to lose their steam and enthusiasm for the position, making them pretty useless. Nurses just are not cut out to handle this kind of negative environment.

Ditto. I spend more time coordinating access than selling.
