How to take your nurse advisor career to the next level
The
role of a clinical nurse advisor is highly specialised and offers plenty of
opportunities for career growth. However, the process of growing your career
can be a challenge, as it often involves vouching for yourself, excelling in
your current role and demonstrating that you’re ready to move to the next level
by showcasing your accomplishments. Continual growth is important for ensuring
you continue to be a proficient and effective professional. With some planning
and preparation, you can advance your career as a nurse advisor and achieve
your goals. Below, we’ve outlined some of the ways nurse advisors can make progress
in their careers.
Focus on upskilling
One of the best ways to boost
your career path and rejuvenate your CV is by upskilling, which is very
important in the medical and healthcare industry. The continued growth of the
medical sector is reliant on the growth of its employees, so advanced education
and upskilling should be a priority. Nursing advisors can take online medical
courses and additional qualifications to improve their skills and knowledge of
patient care. Professionals who advance quickly to higher positions are always
eager to learn and use any additional nursing training to stay relevant in the
workforce. In the medical and nursing environment, optimal care is essential.
Therefore, an upskilled nursing advisor with better qualifications and
experience will be able to treat patients more effectively and move their
careers forward.
Network
Professional networking and building
relationships as a nurse advisor play a crucial role in career advancement.
If you want to take your nurse advisor career to the next level, make sure you
establish connections and have a breadth of contacts. One of the best ways to
network is to attend nursing events or educational conferences where you can
explore new areas of the medical and nursing practice while developing
your professional network. Another way to network is by taking advantage of
any volunteering opportunities outside the workplace. For example, you could
volunteer your time at a local nursing charity, which would show your
commitment to your profession, as well as allow you to meet new people. A large
professional network raises your profile and reputation, which are essential
for career advancement.
Communicate with your manager
When it comes to career advancement in any profession,
communication is essential. That’s why having a discussion with your manager
about your development and growth as a nurse advisor can be an effective way to
leverage advancement and future promotions. When you’re ready to speak with
your manager, make sure you keep track of your accomplishments. For example,
you could demonstrate how you’ve built excellent relationships with patients,
or how you have consistently managed your workload and achieved your programme
objectives. Make engaging with your managers and colleagues a key part of your
work as a nurse advisor, which will you advance further and gain new
opportunities in the medical environment. However, make sure you approach any
conversations about career advancement in a way that benefits everyone, as
you’ll still want to position yourself as a team player.

Anja BollianSince joining IQVIA I have had unrivalled support and development from my manager to enable me to aspire to move into secondary care. I feel like my career is strongly supported by my manager in order to maximise my potential.
IQVIA has been behind my development to become a MSL. The contracts that I have worked on have allowed me to push clinical projects with a recent opportunity to manage a pilot scheme integrating e-detailing into an established field based team. The result was an increase in sales.
Once again I cannot thank you enough for not only approaching me with this opportunity but also for all the support you’ve given me along the way!
A quick note to say thank you for your time this morning discussing my future career options. As you know I was feeling very conflicted about the right decision. Discussing the role with you gave me chance to clarify what is important to me.
Just following on from the amazing news I got yesterday I wanted to say a really special thank you for all the help and support you have provided throughout the entire recruitment process.
