How are you liking it???

I am not interested in landing a sales position for the specific piece of equipment (being a "salesman" is not my cup of tea), but rather provide education to the staff once the piece of equipment is purchased. Those positions do not exist within the facility, but rather within the Medical Device Company. So I wouldn't work for a specific health care system, I would work for the Medical Device Company and would travel to different health care systems to provide education to the staff. I would assume this position also works closely with a Sales Team, however, their specific role is to provide the education and end-user support after the sale is completed.

I have been a bedside nurse on a Labor & Delivery unit for over 11 years. While I love my job, I think I am ready to pursue another avenue in nursing. I am looking into jobs to become a medical device educator. I am open to extensive traveling, as i am currently single and child-free. I am finding it difficult to finds jobs and/or land an interview as I can't imagine my resume looks appealing with only bedside nursing experience. I have tried to highlight my education experience listing myself as a primary preceptor for new staff as well as a Childbirth Educator Instructor. However, that still has yet to land me an interview. Anyone out there have this kind of job, and if so, how did you get your foot in the door? In your job search, did you just look at jobs postings on medical device companies, or how did you go about your search? How is the pay in the area of nursing?
