Feedback:
Pharmaceutical companies sometimes employ RNs and LPN/LVNs in sales and marketing positions. Nurses working in these companies have an advantage over other salespeople because they understand the actions and side effects of medications and may be able to communicate information better to physicians. Many candidates will have expert communication skills, but knowledge of the product enhances these skills.
