Elevate Your Nursing Career Beyond the Bedside
Welcome to NurseElevator, a resource built by a nurse, for nurses and other healthcare professionals, ready to elevate their careers beyond bedside care. I’m Gina, and like many of you, I worked hard to become a Registered Nurse and took great pride in my role. For years, I balanced a full-time hospital job with per diem work in outpatient centers, never imagining I’d ever leave the bedside.
Then something changed. Medical device representatives I met during my shifts at outpatient centers (OBLs) would ask, “Why don’t you join us?” I was hesitant at first. I had no clue what medical device sales involved, and frankly, I wasn’t interested. I loved being a nurse, and I was great at it! But one day, someone shared an insider perspective—how I could combine the income of four jobs into one, with added benefits like a company car, paid cell phone, and still have the opportunity to improve patient outcomes.
That got me thinking. Nursing has always given us the freedom to shift specialties, explore new areas, and learn. Why not give it a try? I decided to make the leap, with the promise to myself that if it wasn’t for me, I could always return to nursing. To my surprise, I loved it, and I haven’t looked back since. Many of my colleagues—nurses, radiology technologists, ultrasound techs, and scrub techs—have also transitioned into the medical device industry, and together, we’ve discovered a career path that brings greater fulfillment and financial stability.
Whether you’re feeling the strain of bedside care or are simply ready for new challenges, NurseElevator is here to guide you. Our mission is to empower nurses and healthcare professionals to transition from hospital-based roles to rewarding careers in medical device sales and beyond.
Why Transition Away from Bedside Nursing?
Nursing is undeniably one of the most fulfilling professions, but it’s also physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. Long shifts, patient acuity, and healthcare stress can lead to burnout, and many of us begin to seek alternatives without knowing exactly where to look.
At NurseElevator, we understand that your skills, experience, and compassion make you uniquely suited for roles beyond the bedside. Whether you’re curious about medical device sales, clinical education, or becoming a clinical support specialist, the opportunities are vast and well within your reach. We’re here to introduce you to these possibilities and help you navigate the transition smoothly.
Your next career move doesn’t have to mean leaving healthcare—it can mean evolving into a new role where your expertise continues to make a difference, with improved work-life balance and financial rewards.
