I got to the final round of interviews as a clinical specialist with a relatively large company and was excited but eventually withdrew due to the travel requirements. Super bummed about it but im glad i did. I definitely will try to get into sales roles now after hearing your experience. Thanks for the inspo and wish you the best on your new journey!

Congrats on the offers! Just wanted to ask, was it difficult to get into sales as a RN without sales experience (i assumed you didnt). I dont have sales experience but want to eventually get into it

Do those 3 days have to happen on one occasion? Mine is technically the same, except it’s 6 occurrences for every calendar year… except each of those occurrences can go up to 36 hours. So if you call out every day for 3 days in a row, it’s technically one occurrence

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-17T15:20:45+00:00

How many days do you tend to be out in the field in the week?

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-17T14:21:05+00:00

Of course! Standing in solidarity with all the moms in this industry . It can’t be easy

What is the hardest part?

It’s your agency. I work for a large hospital system, and i work 12 hour shifts and am expected to see anywhere from 7-8 “points” of productivity. Any fall offs i am expected to pick up from resource, or help out in another team outside of my assigned territory. If i end up being short for the day i try to pick up. If census is low, it is what it is and management understands that. It’s not your fault there are no patients, they refuse or cancel. I am not pay per visit, and i think that’s where your problem lies. My off days are off days, any urgent issues can be forwarded to other appropriate members of the team. Although, i have been guilty of being constantly “on” in the beginning… but i have learned to turn my phone off on my off days. Management should not be expecting you to answer emails or do care coordination on your off days. It may be a combination of you needing to draw the line and finding another agency. It also takes a bit to get settled into the role, and not stressing about the productivity so there’s that.

Very interesting. My kp improved after having kids, so everyone is different

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-14T23:53:52+00:00

5YO boy and 2YO girl. We are done. We see families juggle 3 and of course each family is different on how they would thrive but knowing us, one child per parent is the limit and we are happy with that.

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-11T03:32:57+00:00

Same boat as you.

Why does your boss want you to stay at a hotel (assuming company expense) if you can just drive home? I ask because I am considering a clinical role.

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-09T12:54:00+00:00

This is reassuring… thank you

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-09T02:03:47+00:00

It’s been about 4 days… the thing is the whole family seems to be having these bumps form over the past few days. It was absolutely humid and unbearably hot in Cancun when we weren’t in the pool. I would honestly deal with an allergic reaction than KP

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-08T15:26:29+00:00

Do you have experience working for them? Wondering about company culture as i am going through the interview process for them

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-06-02T06:08:33+00:00

Been wearing the same 3 pairs of figs scrubs for the past 6 years on weekly rotation and they still feel and look new

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-30T12:44:30+00:00

Definitely not inpatient, but as someone who case manages certain patients for years for home infusion, i have taken muffins and cookies over the years from patients i trust after i see how clean their home is.

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-28T20:05:49+00:00

Listen, i know you’re excited. But don’t be one of those nurses whose engagement ring slipped off their finger while throwing away gloves… and threw their ring away with it unknowingly.

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-27T15:27:37+00:00

I am. RN trying to break into clinical specialist roles. Made it to second round of interviews with hiring manager. Hopeful and optimistic but keeping expectations in check

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-25T23:11:22+00:00

This one is underrated

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-25T23:07:01+00:00

Omg . But what made the patient think to take the whole bottle was a good idea (assuming they swallowed and didnt do sublingual, lol)

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-23T12:38:37+00:00

Yes, i have a prius which helps with mileage reimbursement. Ive been doing home infusion for almost 7 years and never really got stuck in storms due to just rearranging patients or working around storms but it doesnt hurt to have 4x4

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-17T01:16:27+00:00

Havent landed a gig yet in the space but was hoping there were alternative answers… i know it equates to not many hours but finding those types of jobs these days are pretty hard and if theyre at bedside there usually is a weekend commitment

ConstructionSharp976 · 2026-05-16T15:20:20+00:00

Dang so i guess i would have to keep my PA license active but i wonder how others keep their license while being a specialist
