Pharmocovigilance Nursing Help

[romie]

Hello colleagues,

I'm interested in leaving the bedside and going into pharmocovigilance nursing with companies like Baxter and Abbot. I've never done this kind of work before, but I believe that I have the skills to excel in the area. Are there any nurses here who have worked in pharmocovigilance (butchered spelling) and have any advice? I imagine that it would be a lot like utilization management and case management for insurance companies. Any advice on putting together a resume for jobs, interview prep, what to expect, or even opportunities to shadow a nurse currently working in the field in the Midwest would be greatly appreciated. I have over three years of hospital experience in telemetry, some management experience and have a masters degree with research experience in an outside field. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
