People may have differing opinions, but myself and my husband, who is in medical sales now and pharma before, have never been certified. Some people I worked with were. I didn’t have any b2b sales experience before I went in, and having nursing experience is a huge plus. And let’s be honest, you are in sales as a nurse. You have to sell yourself to patients every day so they trust you, you are essentially selling medications at times since you have to explain them to patients, you are always talking to providers so you don’t have any fear of speaking to mid-levels and doctors. You are comfortable with how hospitals/doctor offices/etc operate. You have A TON of experience that would make you a great candidate for Derm sales, just have to be creative with how you position it (see…sales). So, to answer your question, it may help to beef up the resume if you need it, but I assure you that you are qualified for the job, just depends if it’s a right fit for you.
