Clinical support nurse position ....help

Nurses General Nursing

Hi! I don't know where else to post this so I hope someone can help me here.. I was wondering if anyone else is familiar with clinical support nursing and what you think of it. I'm currently working in dialysis and am thinking of taking a new job. It involves traveling to hospitals and units to do inservice training and follow-up on new dialysis machines.

If anyone has any insight, please let me know. I'm a little leery of giving up a perfectly good job and trying something so different, but I'm getting patient-care burn-out and need something new.

Thanks!

Is there any way you could shadow a nurse who does the job you're thinking about taking? I've found that's the best way to get a feel for what you're getting into, both with the job and the people you'll be working with.

Good luck! :)

Sounds cool to me, but I am in staff development anyway. You could have lots of freedom to develop your own curriculum, policies and procedures. You might have a say in purchasing since you will be doing the inservices. I would want a clear understanding of travel reimbursement. Will they send you to appropriate training? Once you get the program on it's feet your accomplishments can be used in marketing to gain new clients. You might even offer "classes" to caregivers, or MD office nurses who refer to you, etc. I say try it!
