Feeling stuck in your nursing career? You’re not alone. In this episode of Nursing Beyond the Bedside, Cameron Cook shares how burnout at the bedside led him to pursue an MBA and land a role as a clinical educator in the pharmaceutical industry.
He opens up about how he discovered the role, what a day in the life looks like, and how LinkedIn and authentic networking opened unexpected doors. His advice? “It’s not about who you know, it’s about who knows you.”
✨ In this episode, we’ll discuss:
Transitioning from bedside nursing to a non-clinical role in pharma
What clinical educators actually do (and how it’s different from hospital roles)
Why your nursing skills are more transferable than you think
How to use LinkedIn to grow your network and your career
The power of sharing your goals out loud—and why it matters
Finding better work-life balance outside of shift work
