You can...but I wouldn't recommend it. Massive layoffs are happening right now in the drug industry. You would probably do better checking out cafepharma.com than allnurses.com for your information.

Most pharm/equipment sales jobs are given to people with business/marketing degrees and proven sales backgrounds. This is much more a business oriented job than a job that requires nursing judgement and most nurses do not have the ability to push the sales quotas required by the company.

I will suggest you get a med/surg experience at least for a year so that you can explain the pathophysiology of the diseases in comparison to the drugs you'd sell and convince patients,nurses and docs on the mechanism of action it takes. In other words, I think you'd be more convincing if you site examples and teach from clinical experience.
